ABSTRACT: The authors have utilized the maize husk, a byproduct of starch industries, without any treatment to study its feasibility as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent for the removal of iron from wastewater. Iron was adsorbed on the husk and the effect of various parameters such as particle size, pH, contact time and temperature was studied to ascertain the effective conditions for favourable removal of iron.
