In the present study various types of leaves powder such as Neem Leaf Powder (NLP), Peepal Leaf Powder (PLP), Amla Leaf Powder (ALP) are used for the removal of fluoride, lead and arsenic from synthetic solutions. NLP, PLP, ALP leaves after experiments showed greater adsorption potential and
strong affinity toward the ions. The experimental values regarding adsorption of different ions are extrapolated using MATLAB software to formulate corresponding quadratic equations. These equations can be used to interpolate the values of ions removal for any amount of adsorbent. The extrapolated values
by MATLAB software helps, in theoretical calculations of the values without experiments, which in turn useful for the pilot project as well as to scale up the material at industrial level. The study of Adsorption kinetics clearly shows that the percentage removals of all three ions are increased by increasing adsorbent.
