Abstract
Chitosan (Ch) and Cellulose Acetate (CA) natural polymer in addition to other samples with different mass fractions of Chitosan/Cellulose Acetate (Ch/CA) were synthesized via simple casting route. Prepared samples were studied using FT-IR and UV/vis spectroscopic techniques. Structural variations due to the process of blending were retraced using X-ray diffraction data (XRD) and morphological investigation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Obtained spectral data reveals compatibility and complexation between polymer constituents identified through presence of polymer characteristic peaks with small variation in both intensity and position along with change in the value of optical energy gap from UV optical absorption spectral data. XRD pattern indicate the semicrystalline nature of the studied sample with an observable change in the crystallinity. Moreover, scanning electron microscopic (SEM) micrographs reveals homogenous structure without any evidence for agglomerations nearly in all compositions.

Summary
Water is essential to all forms of life and makes up 50-97% of the weight of all plants, animals and about. Water is the most poorly managed resource in the world. The main sources of water pollution are domestic sewage, industrial effluent, and agricultural runoff. Copper, chromium, lead and mercury are some of the more common effluent pollutants discharged from industries which causes a number of hazardous diseases. There is a very urgent need to control heavy metal emissions into the environment [1,2,3,4]. Essentiality and toxicity of trace elements in human health. Estimation of intake of zinc, copper and iron in the diet of patients with chronic renal failure treated by haemodialysis.
