Abstract
In this research, the efficiency of low-cost unmodified wool fibers were used to remove zinc ion from industrial wastewater. Removal of zinc ion was achieved at 99.52% by using simple wool column. The experiment was carried out under varying conditions of (2h) contact time, metal ion concentration (50mg/l), wool fibers quantity to treated water (70g/l), pH(7) acid concentration (0.05M). The aim of this method is to use a high sensitive, available cheep natural material which applied successfully for industrial wastewater synthetic water, where zinc ion concentration was reduced from (14.6mg/l) to (0.07mg/l) consequently the hazardous effect of contamination was minimized
