Abstract
Biosorption promises to fulfill the requirements, which are competitive, effective, and economically viable. Efforts have been made to use different forms of inexpensive plant materials for the abatement of toxic metals from the aqueous media. Biosorbents, explored so far in removing toxic metals from water bodies, have been listed in Table 1.
