As the consumption of chicken increased in the past years, the discarded chicken feather wastes from the poultry farm and commercial market are the major wastes in Chennai. Even though chicken feathers are utilized in seat filler, shuttlecock, and animal feed, their production requires high quality feather so not all waste feathers are used. They are simply dumped into lands and rivers without treatment. This pollutes soil. The dumped areas may also provide suitable breeding places for flies which is potentially transmitting many diseases. So, recycling of these feathers may decrease solid waste. The hen feathers are rich in fibrillar protein keratin. Keratin is a crystalline protein of small molecular weight ~10kDa. The keratin is made of amino acid cystine, lysine, proline, serine etc., with reactive functional side chains arranged in twisted β sheets. This particular property can be utilized in environmental decontamination of heavy metals. so, the current study aims at removing heavy metal which is very toxic and also use of chicken feather as adsorbent thereby recycling it.
