Thin film transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD industry is the most significant technical transition and changed visual communication and colorization human life. The disposal of waste display panel glass is concern on the worldwide, the disposal of this waste is landfilling which is viewed doubt due to their negative environmental impact. Therefore, composition of complex metal oxides of this waste leads to the innovation of a mesoporous material with has ion-exchange, electrostatic attraction and nano-pore more functionality which can potentially be applied for adsorption heavy metals from wastewater. The removal of lead, zinc, copper, nickel and cadmium was studied using a cost-effective novel nano-pore adsorbent based on waste TFT-LCD glass. The results indicate the replacement framework modification of the raw-waste material has a significant enhance its surface area 174.6m2/g and BJH desorption average pore size is 9.89nm. Adsorption experiment indicate that the modified novel nano-pore material had adsorption capacity of 50.0 mg Pb, 35.6 mg Zn, 47.4 mg Cu, 32.4 mg Ni, 22.2mg Cr and 42.0 mg Cd per each gram of the adsorbent at pH 3 and room temperature which are significantly highly efficient mesoporous adsorbent in industry.
