Environmental education is important for the protection and preservation of the environment and for the need to limit human activities, leading to indiscriminate release of pollutants into the environment. Contaminated water or soil may be harmful to human health or the quality of aquatic ecosystems or terrestrial ecosystems directly dependent on aquatic ecosystems, resulting in damage to material property or interli'e with facilities and other legitimate uses of the environment.
A pollutant is a substance present in nature in greater quantities than natural substances due to human activity, which ultimately has a harmful effect on the environment and thus oil the living organism and humanity.
Pollutants
In broad terms, it is the study of sources, feedback. the transport and effect of chemical species in air, water and soil and the effect of human activity on them. With population growth, ever-increasing urbanization, and increased industrialization in urban areas, pollution problems began to have stripping effects on the environment. . chemical or biological properties of air. land and water. Organic pollutants: These are hydrocarbons and organic particles such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, household waste (fats, oils, surfactants, etc.).
Some of it can be biodegraded by means of the micro-organism present in the water.
Lead as Pollutant
Pb contamination covers the leaf surface and reduces the amount of light reaching it. Pb inhibits some of the main enzymes involved in the overall process of the heme system, where metabolic intermediates accumulate. Lead is one of the metals that must be removed, as it is harmful to the central and peripheral nervous system.
It is widely known that adsorption with activated carbon is a good method for removing heavy metals.
Mercury as Pollutant
At higher blood Pb levels (>0.8ppm) there will be symptoms of anemia due to lack of hemoglobin. Elevated levels of Pb (>0.5-0.8ppm) in the blood cause kidney dysfunction and ultimately brain damage. When 1)1-I values are between 5.0-7.0 Hg concentrations in water will increase due to mobilization in soil.
As a result, methylmercury can accumulate in fish and in the food chains they are part of.
Removal techniques of Pollutant
Low cost adsorbents
Activated carbon as low—cost adsorbent
Removal of heavy metal ions adsorption with activated carbon can be increased by the impregnation of activated carbon with suitable chemicals based on simple chemical reactions commonly found in chemistry, such as acid-base or neutralization.
Adsorption
There is a competition between the solute and solvent molecule fbr adsorption in the case of adsorption from solution. flexible solute is more adsorbed than the solvent i.e. the concentration of solute is less in the mass, the adsorption is called as positive adsorption. Adsorption from solution is also affected by the pH and the temperature of the solution. The adsorbed solute tends to desorb into the solution by adsorption from the solution as the adsorption continues.
A number of mathematical expressions have been developed to give a quantitative relationship between the amounts adsorbed and the equilibrium concentration of the solution.
Adsorption Isotherm

2] which causes degradation of the surrounding medium which can pose a great danger to the environment and human health [3. 12] direct precipitation and separation of the pollution by membrane processes, [1 3] and adsorption methods [7] were studied. Many of the aggregation and adsorption properties of clay can be related to the layer charge density [27].
Normally, adsorption is strongly dependent on the pore structure and surface area of the adsorbents [78].

Adsorption experiments were performed at different pH to optimize the adsorption capabilities of the prepared activated carbon. The silanol group on the activated carbon surface was produced through the hydrolysis of silicon oxide, and the Pb2 ion in the solution replaced the proton of the silanol group [118]. The removal of Pb2 ions increases with an increase in the oscillation frequency reaching a maximum value of 150 rev/min and decreased again.
The reason for this is that when the shaking frequency is increased, the rate of mass transfer of lead ion through an artificial liquid film outside activated carbon particles is increased. Under this condition, the equilibrium time for the adsorption of Pb2 ions on prepared activated carbon was found to be about 3 hours. During the estimation of the equilibrium time, it is also observed from the table that the maximum removal of Pb2 ions on prepared activated carbon is 91.00% within 3 hours and that the minimum is 22.10%.
The high removal rate and the high percentage removal found at equilibrium prove that prepared activated carbon is an efficient adsorbent to remove Pb2 from an aqueous solution. The isotherm results also show that chemisorption of Ph2 on prepared activated carbon occurred. While estimating the equilibrium time, the table also shows that the maximum removal of Ph2 ions on prepared activated carbon is found to be 88.34% within 3 hours and is at least 20.78%.
The observed fast removal rate and high percentage removal at equilibrium prove that the prepared activated carbon is an effective adsorbent for removing Pb2 from aqueous solution. 4.4.4 : I) Determination of the equilibrium time for the adsorption of aqueous Pb2 ions on the prepared activated carbon at p11: 5.7, shaking frequency: 150 rev/ml, initial concentration of Pb2 ions: 1.93 x iO LVI and 30 °C.

For the evaluation of the equilibrium time, the adsorption experiment was carried out at pH 5.7, shaking frequency: 150 rev/miii and the solution concentration was 2.42l0 M at 30 °C. From table 4.4.5 it can be observed that the percentage of adsorption increased with the increase in the amount of adsorbent, but the capacity of absorption decreased with the increase in the amount of adsorbent. When evaluating the equilibrium time, it is also observed from the table that the maximum removal of Pb2 ions in the prepared activated carbon is 87.83% within 3 hours and that the minimum is 9.99%.
The experimental data have been fitted into adsorption isotherms and appear to fit well into the Freundlich isotherm (Figure 4.4.8). The results also show from the isotherm that chemisorption of Pb2 on prepared activated carbon occurred.
