This study shows that, different pollutants present in the contaminated water Such Pollutants are Pb, Cr, Hg, Cu, Co and Ni etc. The copper is one of these very toxic metal present in waste water. Excess of copper cause health problems i.e. mental disorder, anemia, heart problems, arthritis, and etc. copper limit should be maintain at certain level. According to WHO, the maximum acceptable concentration of copper in drinking water is 1.5mg/lit. Now a days various low cost adsorbents used in adsorption process for the removal of copper from contaminated water. Adsorption has proven by many researches in the field of wastewater treatment as an effective and economically viable process.
