This paper represents the results of using phycoremediation technology in treating the wastewater produced from food stall activity by using microalgae of Scenedesmus sp. in removal of heavy metals. Phycoremediation has advantages over physic-chemical approaches as it is can completely degrade organic pollutants without destroy the surrounding flora and fauna. Aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of microalgae Scenedesmussp to assimilate the pollutant load based on the optimum time and concentration. Characteristics of food stall wastewater need to be identified and analyse before phycoremediation process taken place. The wastewater sampling was collected at food stall during peak time i.e. at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Microalgae Scenedesmus sp. to be injected to the batch reactor based on five (5) different concentration cells. The results shows that the optimum removal of heavy metals are dominant by concentration no. 1 (C1) compare to other concentration in the treatment i.e. removal of Ferum by 88.22% and 69.63%, Copper by 60% and 53.85% at both sampling time while removal of zinc is dominant by concentration no.4 (C4) by 75.61% and 76.63% respectively.

With the development of industrialization and human activities, discharge of waste water containing heavy metals in the environment is increasing day by day. It causes serious threats to the human civilization and the flora and fauna in this earth. Conducting polymers like polypyrrole and polyaniline can be used for treating wastewater due to their inherent ion absorption properties. This article has been focused on the development of polypyrrole coated bio-composites and their potential about the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Adsorption process can be successfully employed to remove heavy metals from the wastewater by the treatment of water with polypyrrole-coated composites. It was reported in literature that the polypyrrole and polyaniline-coated adsorbents had good adsorption capacities for Mg, Fe, Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Ni. Polypyrrole-coated saw dust, rice husk, chitin, and cellulosic materials could be able to remove Cr, Fe, Cu, and Zn from wastewater. This method would be a replacement for costly conventional methods of removing heavy metal ions from wastewater. It is expected that this method would be an alternative for waste water treatment which will benefit the industries in future.

This paper discusses the utilization situation and existing problems of sugarcane bagasse, and briefly the research progress of preparation of activated carbon from sugarcane bagasse (ACSB). It reviews the application of activated carbon prepared from sugarcane bagasse, such as, industrial wastewater decolorizing, removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals in wastewater in the domestic and overseas in recent years. Points out the shortage of preparation methods, the existing problems and puts forwards some questions need to be solved in future research. Moreover, the prospect of application and the trends in future research of activated carbon from sugarcane bagasse are proposed.
