The main source of environmental degradation is the increased production of heavy metals as a result of growing industrialization, which contaminates rivers inflow through the industries discharges of the effluents they produce as a result of their operations. Limiting the effects and level of heavy metals present in the effluent on the ecosystem is essential to make the Asa river usable for other purposes and to decrease their influence on those who depend on this water directly or indirectly. This study focused on the adsorption of these heavy metals using both treated and untreated rice husk with the mass(g) of carbonized/activated rice husks(CRH/ACRH) at 0.032,0.066 and 0.1 at 40ml of each of the stock solutions and the effluent at various time intervals of 24,28 and 72 hours. The adsorbent was also analyzed for Fourtier-transform infrared analysis(FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Energy dispersive x-ray before adsorption process. The adsorption process was evaluated by using Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer and compared with the standard of WHO 2006 and USEPA 2010. Based on the results of this study, it was deduced that both the treated and untreated rice husk removed cr and cd and ACRH was better compared to the CRH for removal of the metals from the samples that were gathered because treated or activated rice husk attracted more attention than carbonized or untreated rice husk due to its comparably higher adsorption capacity which is favoured by higher number of active binding sites.
