APPLICATION OF BIOSORBENTS FOR REMOVAL OF NITRITE FROM POLLUTED WATER

Viac o knihe

The book explores the critical issue of nitrite contamination in rural India's water supply, emphasizing the health risks associated with methemoglobinemia, particularly in infants. It critiques conventional treatment methods for their high costs and inefficiencies, especially at low concentrations, while proposing bio-sorption as a sustainable alternative. The study investigates the effectiveness of various natural materials, including neem and guava leaves, as biosorbents for nitrite removal, highlighting their eco-friendly benefits and potential for widespread application in water treatment.
