This study evaluates to prepare and characterize plant based adsorbent from leaves. The adsorbent prepared with physical and chemical treatment. The sieving size 125 μm was selected for adsorbents. The physico-chemical parameters of adsorbents pH, moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, bulk density and iodine value were determined. Targeted the functional group of biosorbents were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).The present research work indicated that all biosorbent shown carbon (68–76%),iodine value (131–223) and important functional group i.e.,carboxylic acid, amino acid, ether, aldehyde and ketone.
