Brief Description
Description : | It is an adsorption technique. A naturally occurring ferruginous manganese ore (FMO) is used as adsorbent for iron and arsenic in contaminated groundwater and may be applied at both domestic and community level. A domestic three compartment filtration unit employing this technique has been developed at NML. It works for both As(lll) and As(V) without any pre-treatment. At domestic level the hardware does not require electricity. The process comes with a sludge management protocol. |
