Elevated concentrations of heavy metal ions are in many ways considered to be an affront the aquatic ecosystems; their sources being attributed mainly industries and agricultural sectors and, a lesser extent, urban water runoff during storms. Heavy that easily found include lead, mercury, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, copper. These metals, if ingested or inhaled, cause health hazards present great risks bodies because they reduce oxygen available fish other animals. One way prevent this problem is use nanoparticles at nano level obtained from industrial waste products for removal metals water. In adsorption process, tend attach exterior surfaces these nanoscale biomass particles, with possible aqueous phase. They also affirmed technical effectiveness nanowaste desalination reduces availability contaminants relatively cheaper more sustainable manner than conventional methods. study, synthesized (45–60 nm) pomegranate (PGSN) were used as biosorbents, which yielded high performances 85% Fe²⁺ 83% Ni²⁺ ions. The biosorbent was characterized using zeta size potential analyses, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDXA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis, High-, diffraction (XRD).
