There are different types of pollutions within the wastewater, amongst them contaminations and pollutants stemming from some heavy metals, e.g. Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, etc., components are the ones that are mostly hazardous and harmful needing to be seriously managed. Hence, removal of these non-biodegradable, non-thermodegradable pollutions from wastewater is a major concern to be addressed that has different environmental and health-related benefits. As lead metal is highly dangerous for human health and the environment, it is very important to remove it from the sewage and prevent it from entering the environment by means of a cheap and appropriate way. Biosorption is a process for removal of these heavy metal contaminants, which uses a kind of bio-adsorbent material mostly originating from agricultural leftovers, e.g. rose damascene pomace. that has proved to be an appropriate and environmentally friendly method for this purpose. In this study, rose damascene pomace biomass (rose water residue) was taken as a biosorbent material in a biosorption process that allowed for the removal of lead metal from aqueous solution.
