Ground water nitrate removal by using ‘Chitosan’ as an adsorbent
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Environmental pollution is the most terrible ecological crisis to which we are subjected today. Today the environment has become foul, contaminated, undesirable, and therefore harmful for the health of living organisms, including man. The most common contaminant identified in ground water is dissolved nitrogen in the form of Nitrate (NO3).Decomposition of organic matter present in soils leaching, of soluble fertilizers, human and animal excreta are the source of nitrate in subsurface waters. This research work is for to find preventive measures to avoid the nitrate pollution. This paper explains suitability of naturally available adsorbent i.e. ‘Chitosan’ for removal of nitrates from water is studied. The work is for the use of Chitosan in the different forms and concentrations to achieve the task.
