by

Hossam Altaher et al. View all

Issue 4

Water and Wastewater Treatment

Several adsorbents have been tried out by researchers to remove different pollutants from wastewater. However, the adverse effect of these biosorbents on the treated water and the possibility of leaching new pollutants to the treated water have not been investigated. A batch technique was employed...
