Natural Clay Supported Zerovalent Iron Nanoparticles as a Potential Coagulant for Ammonia Reduction from Industrial Wastewater Effluents
Authorized by Wighens I Ngoie
Currently
in South Africa, many wastewater resources are polluted by anthropogenic
sources, including household, agricultural waste and industrial processes.
Though several conventional wastewater treatment techniques (among others,
physical decantation, chemical oxidation, and disinfection) have been applied
to remove contaminants, there are still some limitations, for the removal of
chemicals such as ammonia [1,2]. It has been noticed that the level of ammonia
of the effluents treated was comparatively higher [3] (277mg/L) than what is
required according to the South Africa National Standards [4] of Wastewater
before being discharged into the environment (10mg/L). Public concern over the
environmental impact of wastewater pollution has increased. To address this
issue, experiments were carried out over a Jar Tester on sequential velocities
(rapid mixing at 150rpm for 1min and slow mixing at 20rpm for 20min) using
activated clay (bentonite) in the attempt to remove ammonia from the wastewater
effluent.
