They are rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals that can help neutralize the pH of acidic wastewater. Additionally, the alkaline nature of the ashes can also help precipitate dissolved solids, making them easier to remove. This paper aims to provide an overview of the use of plant leaves ashes in wastewater treatment. The herb being a rich source of antioxidants it possesses the property of free radical scavenging thereby causing the lysis or death of pathogenic agents and cells. Neem exhibits a peculiar activity on Oncogenes, Tumor suppressor gene, it has a role in angiogenesis, Apoptosis etc., (Olabinri, and Adebisi, 2009). The plant leaves biosorbents broadly used for iron and phosphorous removal were reviewed, mainly focusing on their cellular structure, biosorption performance, their pre-treatment, modification, regeneration/reuse, modelling of biosorption (isotherm and kinetic models), the development of novel biosorbents, their evaluation, potential application and future (Subhashish et al., 2022 and Gupta et al., 2015). The mango leaves are full of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and various other minerals. The active compound ‘Mangifera’ present in these leaves has immense benefits (Rymbai et al., 2013). Mango leaves can be boiled in water and drank or can be consumed in powdered form to ward off a number of health problems. A large number of mango leaves biosorbents has been investigated for their metal binding capacities under various optimum conditions. The variation in temperature had major effects on the sorption process. An increase in the temperature is known to increase the rate of diffusion of adsorbate molecules across the surface boundary layer and in the internal pores of adsorbent particles as a result of reduced viscosity of the solution. The mango leaves biosorbents residues were measured with respect to major textural region, textural mapping and surface useful groups the material was applied as a biosorbent in batch procedures to eliminate the poisonous from water solution in these conditions of various amounts, pH, rotation time and temperature (Ali et al., 2020). The physical characteristics effectiveness and quality was improving with parameter i.e., turbidity is about 50%, viscosity is about 15 %, total dissolved solids are about75 %, pH is about 26 % and electrical conductivity improves is about 150% and the efficiency of chemical characteristics was improving i.e., alkalinity is about 21 %, acidity 25 %, hardness 35 %, dissolved oxygen 575 %, BOD 35 % and COD 24 % respectively (Gudadhe, 2022). The main aim of this study to minimize the pollutants load from wastewater with the help of mango and neem plant leaves ash and that water is used to agricultural and domestic purpose. METHODOLOGY: The experimental setup was installed in wellequipped laboratory for removal of pollutants which are present in wastewater with the help of mango and neem plant leaves ash. The preparation of ash from leaves and treatment of wastewater by following process: Collection of Plant Leaves: Collect neem (Azadirachta indica) and mango (Mangifera indica) plant leaves of certain plants have been found to be particularly effective in treating waste water due to their high concentration of natural compounds with antimicrobial properties. Drying and Burning: Wash the collected leaves with distilled water to remove any dirt or dust particles. Spread them out on a clean, dry surface and allow them to air dry completely. Once the leaves are dry, they can be burned in a furnace or any other heating device to ash form.

The physical characteristics effectiveness and quality was improving with parameter i.e., turbidity is about 50%, viscosity is about 15 %, total dissolved solids are about75 %, pH is about 26 % and electrical conductivity improves is about 150% and the efficiency of chemical characteristics was improving i.e., alkalinity is about 21 %, acidity 25 %, hardness 35 %, dissolved oxygen 575 %, BOD 35 % and COD 24 % respectively (Gudadhe, 2022). The main aim of this study to minimize the pollutants load from wastewater with the help of mango and neem plant leaves ash and that water is used to agricultural and domestic purpose. METHODOLOGY: The experimental setup was installed in wellequipped laboratory for removal of pollutants which are present in wastewater with the help of mango and neem plant leaves ash. The preparation of ash from leaves and treatment of wastewater by following process: Collection of Plant Leaves: Collect neem (Azadirachta indica) and mango (Mangifera indica) plant leaves of certain plants have been found to be particularly effective in treating waste water due to their high concentration of natural compounds with antimicrobial properties. Drying and Burning: Wash the collected leaves with distilled water to remove any dirt or dust particles. Spread them out on a clean, dry surface and allow them to air dry completely. Once the leaves are dry, they can be burned in a furnace or any other heating device to ash form.

Agricultural wastewater contains nutrients, pesticides, and other organic and inorganic compounds. These pollutants can have adverse effects on human health and the environment if left untreated. Wastewater treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater to make it safe for discharge or reuse. Conventional methods of wastewater treatment include physical, chemical, and biological processes. However, these methods require expensive infrastructure, skilled personnel, and high energy consumption. In recent years, researchers have explored alternative methods of wastewater treatment using natural materials such as plant leaves ashes. Plant leaves ashes are a 1Associate Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Shri.

Gawai, Sachin K. Tippat and Swapnil K. Gudadhe: WASTEWATER TREATMENT USING PLANT LEAVES ASH byproduct of the burning of plant leaves. They are rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals that can help neutralize the pH of acidic wastewater. Additionally, the alkaline nature of the ashes can also help precipitate dissolved solids, making them easier to remove. This paper aims to provide an overview of the use of plant leaves ashes in wastewater treatment. The herb being a rich source of antioxidants it possesses the property of free radical scavenging thereby causing the lysis or death of pathogenic agents and cells. Neem exhibits a peculiar activity on Oncogenes, Tumor suppressor gene, it has a role in angiogenesis, Apoptosis etc., (Olabinri, and Adebisi, 2009). The plant leaves biosorbents broadly used for iron and phosphorous removal were reviewed, mainly focusing on their cellular structure, biosorption performance, their pre-treatment, modification, regeneration/reuse, modelling of biosorption (isotherm and kinetic models), the development of novel biosorbents, their evaluation, potential application and future (Subhashish et al., 2022 and Gupta et al., 2015). The mango leaves are full of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and various other minerals. The active compound ‘Mangifera’ present in these leaves has immense benefits (Rymbai et al., 2013). Mango leaves can be boiled in water and drank or can be consumed in powdered form to ward off a number of health problems. A large number of mango leaves biosorbents has been investigated for their metal binding capacities under various optimum conditions. The variation in temperature had major effects on the sorption process. An increase in the temperature is known to increase the rate of diffusion of adsorbate molecules across the surface boundary layer and in the internal pores of adsorbent particles as a result of reduced viscosity of the solution. The mango leaves biosorbents residues were measured with respect to major textural region, textural mapping and surface useful groups the material was applied as a biosorbent in batch procedures to eliminate the poisonous from water solution in these conditions of various amounts, pH, rotation time and temperature (Ali et al., 2020).
