Heavy metal pollution adversely affects all living organism. There are various conventional methods used for removing heavy metal contamination. Present study used the green technology for removal of heavy metal. The various fruits and vegetables peels are used as pineapple peels, potato peels, citrus fruits peels, orange peels, pomegranate peels, banana peels, tomato peels, etc. The extent of removal of heavy metals was found to be dependent on sorbent dose, initial concentration, pH and temperature. The adsorption follows first order kinetics and all these processes are generally endothermic showing mono-layer adsorption. The present study has reviewed the removal of heavy metals from various fruits and vegetables peels.
