Application of Rice Husk to Remove Humic Acid from Aqueous Solutions and Profiting from Waste Leftover
Authors: ,
Abstract: Scrutinize to the feasibility of Rice Husk (RH) on the removal of humic acid pollutant from aqueous solutions using different design parameters by adsorption process is carried out. Results show that the higher removal efficiency was 98.24 % for humic acid from aquatic solution and this efficiency was decreased with increasing of initial concentration flow rate and pH while the removal efficiency increased with increasing absorbance material bed height and feeding temperature. One of the method of profiting from it was using as fertilizer for tomato harvest. The results show that the tomato was bloomed and gave greater weight crop. By this way we can possess different benefits which are: remove the humic acid contaminated the water, get rid of agricultural waste (RH), in the same time, and prepared a good and useful fertilizer for tomato harvest.
