Plants leaf adsorbents used for iron and phosphorus removal from water

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the pollution of freshwater resources due to human and industrial waste, highlighting the inefficiencies and environmental concerns of traditional removal methods for iron and phosphorus. It presents bio-sorption as an eco-friendly alternative, emphasizing the use of various plant leaves—including neem, custard apple, sapodilla, mango, java palm, and guava—as effective bio-sorbents. The study demonstrates a remarkable 100% removal efficiency and examines the effects of various parameters such as contact time, agitation speed, and temperature on the bio-sorption process.
