Adsorptive Removal of Heavy Metals from Groundwater by Iron Oxide Based Adsorbents

By Valentine Uwamariya Copyright 2014
168 Pages
by CRC Press

In general, groundwater is a preferred source of drinking water because of its convenient availability and its constant and good quality. However this source is vulnerable to contamination by several substances. Acceptable quality limits relative to micropollutant contents in drinking water are becoming increasingly lower and efficient elimination treatment processes are being implemented in... Read more
