The metallic wastes released by Industries mainly comprise of heavy metals like Copper, Cadmium, Zinc, Lead, Chromium and Nickel which cannot be degraded and thus contaminate the natural industrial wastewater. Copper is the third most widely used metal in industries next to aluminum and iron and has harmful effects on health and environment. There are numerous methods currently employed to remove and recover these heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Adsorption is one of the alternative methods which can be used for adsorption of heavy metals and is an effective separation technique. Considering the economics, there is an increasing research interest in using alternative low-cost adsorbents. In recent years, Spent Tea Extract (STE) is gaining ground due to its potential to adsorb heavy metals. In the present work, the potential of tea extract as an adsorbent for the adsorption of Cu (II) from synthetic waste industrial water is studied. The percentage adsorption of Cu (II) has been studied with three variables (adsorbent dosage, contact time and solution pH), keeping one constant at a time. Optimum percentage adsorption of Cu (II) is found to be 59.84 % at the adsorbent dosage of 0.5 g (in 50 ml solution), contact time of 60 minutes, pH of 5 and temperature of 30 °C. The result showed that the proposed adsorbent used in this study is very useful for removing Cu (II) from industrial wastewater.
