Preservation and conservation of water and its quality from various sources of pollution is a task of greater concern nowadays. Heavy metal pollution chiefly lead (Pb) causes various environmental disequilibrium and health hazards. Utilisation of agricultural byproducts for the removal of Pb from such contaminated water has been studied widely in recent decades and the effect of sorbent dosage, initial Pb2+ concentrations, and incubation time intervals on Pb adsorption was described using isotherm models in this study. It was inferred from the results that, FYM had higher Pb adsorption capacity (7.00 mg g-1) than coirpith (2.73 mg g-1) which increased with increasing time intervals from 0 to 7.61 mg g-1 for FYM and 3.71 mg g-1 for coirpith. The adsorption capacity of FYM increased from 0.997 to 15.7 mg g-1 and 0.71 to 5.61 mg g-1 in coirpith when the initial Pb concentration increased from 100 to 2000 mg kg-1. Both Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm explained the sorption process of both the sorbents. Hence, it could be concluded that, FYM is the effective sorbent which can be utilized for the removal of Pb from wastewater.
