The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of utilization of some low-cost adsorbents as peanut husk charcoal,fly ash and natural zeolite for the removal of copper (Cu+2) and zinc (Zn+2) from industrial wastewater.Batch isotherm experiments were carried out to evaluate the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater using these adsorbents under various conditions of pH adsorbent dose contact time initial metals concentration and agitation speed
