Removal of Water Turbidity by using Aluminum Filings as a Filter Media

The ability of using aluminum filings which is locally solid waste was tested as a mono media in gravity rapid filter. present study conducted to evaluate the effect variation influent water turbidity (10, 20and 30 NTU); flow rate(30, 40, and 60 l/hr) bed height (30and60)cm on performance filter for 5 hours run time compare it with conventional sand results indicated that showed better than removal reduction head loss. Results statistical model developed by multiple linear regression proved bevalid, could be used predict loss R2 equal 0.94 0.968 respectively.
