As water is the most important element responsible for life on earth, water scarcity is a great environmental crisis. The continuous depletion of sufficient available resources to meet different water demands is caused by many factors such as climate changes and industrial human activities. efficiency of the precipitation process can drastically be decreased and this creates incomplete processing and production of toxic sludge. Therefore numerous novel approaches have been studied to develop cost -effective and more efficient heavy metal adsorption techniques. Biosorption is considered as a user-friendly, effective purification and separation method for the removal of heavy metals & dyes from industrial wastewater with the advantages of specific affinity, low cost, and simple design. biochar gellan hydrogel has been synthesized as an effective material for heavy metals adsorption. modified hydrogel showed good activity towards pollutants.
