4-Aminobutyric acid (TABA), a functional group that is incorporate in tamarind kernel powder to synthesized of TABA resin in laboratory. By employing batch approach and column separation experiment, their adsorption behavior for hazardous metal ion as Fe (II), Cr (III) and Cu (II) has been discovered. Various physiochemical properties as Ion exchange capacity, bulk density, SEM, and FTIR spectra were used to characterize the tamarind-based TABA resin. Industrial effluents which contaminated with heavy toxic metal ions are extracted using TABA resin. This paper emphasis that, the resin is used to remove heavy metal ions like Fe (II), Cr (II), and Cu (II) from aqueous solution and effluents of steel industry, Jodhpur. This paper present the highest % adsorption of Fe (II) metal ion and binary separation of Cr (III) and Cu (II) ions on TABA resin at pH 6. Maximum ion exchange capacity was found 3.38 milimol/gm and adsorption is 70.43% on TABA resin.
