Aerated steel slag filter system performance study for pollutants removal from domestic wastewater
Nitrogen removal from wastewater often requires a highly cost of chemical treatment to prevent over loading of nutrient in effluent discharge to the surface water body. However, to remove nitrogen it requires a complex process. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop an aerated rock filter (A...
