Expensive commercial activated carbon has led to the continuous search for alternate suitable materials of low cost. Crop residues possess certain characteristics that makes them suitable alternate to commercial activated carbon. Some crop residues with such excellent characteristics and suitability for uptake of pollutants have been neglected hence the aim of this work. Here, we exposed the physicochemical characteristic such as surface pH, pHpzc, elemental composition, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of a neglected African crop residue, Babara Nut Chaff (BNC). The surface chemistry via the Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies as well as the surface morphology as obtained by the Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies are detailed herein. Hetero atom carrying functional groups such as single bondOH, Cdouble bondO and Csingle bondN would be suitable sites for metal ion uptake. Pores, gullies and crevices shown on BNC surface will also serve as a medium of pollutant trapping.
