this methods for the removal of heavy metals from wastewaters‚ however‚ are often cost prohibitive having inadequate efficiencies at low metal concentrations‚ particularly in the range of 1 to 100 mg/L. Some of these methods‚ furthermore‚ generate toxic sludge‚ the disposal of which is a burden on the techno-economic feasibility of treatment procedures [3]. The search for new technologies involving the removal of toxic metals from wastewaters has directed attention to biosorption‚ based on

to produce liquid fuel. The inputs for algae are simple: the single-celled organisms only need sunlight‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide to grow. They can quadruple in biomass in just one day‚ and they help remove carbon from the air and nitrogen from wastewater‚ another environmental benefit. Some types of algae comprise more than 50 percent oil‚ and an average acre of algae grown today for pharmaceutical industries can produce 5‚000 gallons (19‚000 litres) of biodiesel each year. By comparison‚ an average

Imagine not being able to drink a single drop of purified water again. Due to the people of the United States drinking billions of gallons of water daily‚ the amount of purified water we drink is starting to run out which is causing a problem already. Psychological studies have shown humans still don’t accept water being reused even after knowing the water is purified and perfectly clean. Advocates are still against ultraviolet machines being used to clean and purify water. While some people believe

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Generally‚ Palm oil mill effluent (POME) contains high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) which can pollute the environment ecosystem if it is not treated properly. The characteristics of fresh POME are that it is highly viscous liquid‚ brownish in colour and discharged at a temperature of 80-90oC. Moreover‚ POME is extremely poisonous with a very low pH between 3.5 and 4.2‚ high chemical and biological oxygen demand
