N2  -  Pollution and its harmful effects on the environment due to the rapid  industrial development, particularly the aquatic environment, causes the  serious rising environmental pollution problems and threats the marine  life. Industries like automotive metal-finishing, pipe corrosion, mining,  and metallurgical as well as metal plating industries discharge many  different toxic heavy metals specially Co and Cu in the vicinity water  drains. Due to the harmfulness of these heavy metals for humans, animals  and plants; great efforts have exerted in order to remediate wastewater.  Several techniques have been devised to treat wastewater containing heavy  metals before their discharging into the environment. Among these  techniques, adsorption provides a simple and powerful way for removing  heavy metals from wastewater. Fish bones were used as a natural and low  cost heavy metal sorbent (mainly Cu and Co) from synthetic wastewater.  Fish bones composition consists mainly of hydroxy apatite  [Ca (PO4) (OH) {u2013} HAP]. HAP serves as an effective adsorbent due to its   10 6 2 high removal capacity for heavy metals by ion exchange process with  calcium ions on the bone surface. The removal efficiency of the adsorbent  was studied as a function of initial metal concentration, contact time and  pH value.
