Ammoniacal nitrogen removal using flamboyant pods (Delonix Regia) adsorbent for natural rubber wastewater treatment
Plant waste such as Delonix Regia Pods (DRP) have the potential to be used as adsorbents. A study of lignocellulose delonix regia pods was carried to assess ammoniacal nitrogen removal from natural rubber wastewater. Sample wastewater was taken from the rubber processing industry and characterizatio...
