ABSTRACT
Sustainability of good health depends upon the purity of water. However groundwater may be exposed towards to contamination by various anthropogenic activities such as agricultural, domestic and industrial. Groundwater quality problem are typically associated with high level of iron concentration.
Iron is a worldwide observed public health problem. One of the major sources of iron is drinking water. Excess concentration of iron creates major issues related to the public concerned. The acceptable limit of iron is 0.3 mg/L according to the guidelines WHO guidelines. In developing countries like India removal cost of metal ions like iron is the major factor of consideration. Adsorption is one of the cost effective method adopted globally because of its ease to use and preparation. This review focused on the different used adsorbents for the removal of iron by using method of adsorption. Utility of different material of various plants, agro- wastes, other bio-masses as bio adsorbents are over viewed with its different parameter.
