Abstract |
In the present work, Tamarind Fruit Shell was used to enhance the removal efficiency of Soil Aquifer System (SAT) for the removal of Lead(Pb). The column studies were carried out using 3 different concentrations for Pb metal in Synthetic wastewater (5, 15, 25mg/L) and varying adsorbent heights (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%) in 0.8m soil depth. Soil properties were determined and Loamy Sand soil was used. The efficiency of SAT to remove Pb without Tamarind Fruit Shell resulted in 38.4%, 44.5%, 43% for Pb. The conjunction of Tamarind Fruit Shell in SAT resulted in increased removal efficiency. Whereas the efficiency was observed maximum at 80% height of adsorbent resulting 82.8%, 84.4%, 75.3% for Pb. Comparison studies show that SAT in conjunction with Tamarind Fruit Shell showed better performance than without adsorbent one. |
