Wastewater, Treatment, Mango Leaves, Neem Leaves and AshAbstract
The study based on wastewater treatment using different plant materials like neem (Azadirachta indica) and mango (Mangifera indica) plant leaves ash are innovative and ecofriendly approaches towards sustainable wastewater management. This work focuses on using the plant materials as adsorbents for removing pollutants from wastewater. The plant materials are subjected to high temperature in a controlled environment to obtain ash, which are used for the removal of pollutants such as heavy metals, organic compounds, and nutrients from wastewater. The study aims to investigate the efficiency of each plant material as an adsorbent, and the potential of the mixture of plant materials for wastewater treatment. The study could have significant implications for the development of low-cost and eco-friendly wastewater treatment technologies. The use of plant materials ash for wastewater treatment could provide a sustainable and natural alternative to conventional wastewater treatment methods. The results showed that, plant leaves ashes were effective in reducing the levels of pollutants.
