There are numerous heavy metals present in Industrial waste water. These heavy metals like (Chromium and Copper) are toxic and harmful for human being especially chromium heavy metal spread pulmonary fibrosis diseases which is harmful for human being. There are many methods to remove and recover the metals from our environment and many physicochemical methods have been proposed for their removal from wastewater. Adsorption is one of the alternatives for such cases and is an effective purification and separation technique used in industry especially in water and wastewater treatments. Cost is an important parameter for comparing the adsorbent materials. Therefore, there is increasing research interest in using alternative low-cost adsorbents. To removing this heavy metal activated charcoal as a good adsorbent but it is very costly. The investigation has found the removal efficiency of tea waste as a low cost adsorbent is fruitful to neutralized heavy metal like (Copper and Chromium).The experiment result showed that maximum removal of Copper and Chromium ion by tea waste is 90% and 92%.
