Abstract
Most human activities require water, especially freshwater.Water is necessary for household, industrial, and commercial activities.Using water generates wastewater that may potentially pollute the environment.Wastewater contains both organic and inorganic matter that may affect environmental quality.Therefore, wastewater must be treated before disposal to prevent environmental impacts.Wastewater can also be recycled using various technologies.Some common wastewater pollutants, such as heavy metals, dyes, and phenolics, require treatment to reduce the risk to human health [1].Adsorption is one of the most widely applied wastewater treatment methods and has several advantages, including wide application, simplicity, ease of operation, and low energy use [2].
