The kinetic studies of the treatment of wastewater from food industry using powdered snail shell was carried out. The results show that the treatment fits the pseudo second order when compared to pseudo first order and intra particle diffusion model, since the r2 values of most parameters was 0.99 with exception of Total suspended solid and Nitrate-Nitrogen which have r2 values of 0.777 and 0.818 respectively. The r2 values of pH and Pb were 0.99 for the three kinetic models and indication that their treatment fits the three kinetic models studied. However the physicochemical analysis of the untreated and treated wastewater at different times was carried out. Most of the parameters recorded reduction in values as the treatment time increases, an indication that powdered snail shell was effective in the treatment of the wastewater.
