Abstract

An intractable dangerous waste is cigarette butts and these wastes are discarded everywhere and ultimately cause severe threat to the health of environmental. In this study, waste cigarette butts were successfully converted to biochar and impregnation of Zn and Al metals for decontamination of fluoride from fluoride contaminated medium through adsorption study. This study provides a feasibility to convert a waste to a valuable material for possible solution of environmental pollution.
