Natural Adsorbents for Agricultural Waste Water Treatment

Combining Adsorbents with Membranes for Water Treatment

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this project was to evaluate the feasibility of using heated iron oxide particles (HIOPs) in conjunction with various types of membranes to enhance natural organic matter (NOM) removal and reduce fouling of those membranes. Secondary objectives were to compare the behavior of HIOPs with that of powdered activated carbon (PAC) as additives to UF systems, and ...

New generation adsorbents for water treatment.

Review on Natural Methods for Waste Water Treatment

In Ethiopia, the most common method of disposal of waste water is by land spreading. This treatment method has numerous problems, namely high labor requirements and the potential for eutrophication of surface and ground waters. Constructed wetlands are commonly used for treatment of secondary municipal wastewaters and they have been gaining popularity for treatment of agricultural wastewaters i...

Removal of Malachite Green Dye from Waste Water by Using Natural and Synthetic Adsorbents: a Review

Contaminated water is the primary source of any disease. Water may be contaminated by number of pollutants and dyes are one of them. Malachite green (MG) dye is widely used as biocide in the aquaculture industry to controls fungal attacks, protozoan infections and also used in food and textile industries for various purposes. Surface and ground water is contaminated with dyes due to discharge o...

Low-cost Adsorbents Used in Heavy Metal Contaminated Waste Water Treatment

In this review, adsorbents used in wastewater treatment and their technical feasibilities are reviewed. Adsorbents are classified as natural adsorbents, and the adsorbents obtained from industrial and agricultural wastes. They all were compared with each other condensing the metal binding capacities, costs and metal removal performances in waste water treatments. Although commercial activated c...
