Screening of boron adsorption potential of various date seed preparation methods

Recently boron has been classified as a pollutant of drinking water in many countries. Boron is harmful to many plants especially sensible plants and human health. Therefore, boron level needs to be decreased to 0.3 mg/l for drinking water and from 0.5 mg/l to 1 mg/l for irrigation water. In this...

In this study, various operational parameters are tested in order to determine feasibility of using date seed (or date pit or date stone) to remove boron from seawater.
