Abstract
Eutrophication in reservoir and tributaries causes obstruction of water flow and increased concentration of organic matter and plant production. The purpose of this project is to research about development of a cost-effective, affordable, efficient and portable Total Phosphorus (TP) and Total Nitrogen (TN) removal agent, transferrable across the target market to facility owners and individuals in the world. Two types of pellet composition were chosen for this project which is zeolite plus clay and the other one is clay only. Implementing a chemical adsorption technique of a clay-zeolite media is unique to the industry. The project outcome was intended to create and test a bench scale apparatus with engineered adsorption clay-zeolite media, and prepared for further field analysis, such as pH stabilization and many more. From the result analysis, we have found that as the contact time increases, the removal efficiency of the pellets also increases. It is clear that pellet with clay and zeolite composition has a better adsorption rate on removal efficiency about 53% for TP and 82% for TN rather than clay only pellet about 48% TP and 67% TN. Since the synthetic solution has a concentration of 5mg/L for both phosphorus and nitrogen, the only variables are pellet composition, pH, temperature and contact time. Both pellets have their pH increasing as the contact time increases.
Highlights
In recent decades water quality deprivation has been a fundamental worry for social orders, since this impacts affects biodiversity, biological communities, human well-being, and drinking water utilization and food creation
Given the ion attributes of clinoptilolite, it ought to be appropriate for use in ammonia removal from aqueous solutions or effluents
Clay + zeolite pellet clearly is better at reducing the concentration of phosphorus about 53% in a water body affected by eutrophication
Summary
In recent decades water quality deprivation has been a fundamental worry for social orders, since this impacts affects biodiversity, biological communities, human well-being, and drinking water utilization and food creation. G. release of mechanical wastewater from various industries, landfill leachates) sources, bringing about over the top development of green growth and different microorganisms, and in expanded broke up oxygen consumption and fish lethality [2] These nutrients must be eliminated from wastewaters to control eutrophication in lakes and others water bodies. Numerous components are basics for the development of green growth; be that as it may, in characteristic water mixes of nitrogen and phosphorus are every and again in restricted supply, which tends to control the degree of development that happens [3]. These aquatic biological communities are immaculate when the supplements' concentrations are low. Use of naturally taking place, low-cost materials, such as zeolites for handling waste discharges will contribute to the sustainable development of our society
