Abstract | ||||
Recycling wastewater in agriculture is a viable and sustainable alternative for decreasing fresh water consumption. Treated wastewater is one of the water resources that can be used for irrigation purposes if it meets the appropriate health conditions. The main objective of this study was to remove hazard elements such as B (boron) from wastewater by adsorption using organic materials. Five sources of agriculture and industrial drainage waters were collected from different locations .Two types of the wastewaters: 1) Agricultural drainage wastewater were collected from (Sherbien - Mietghamer- El-Mansoura (, 2) Industrial wastewater were collected from {Delta company of fertilizers and chemicals (Talkha) - Food factory (Aga)}.The treating organic materials were (Sawdust and compost) to remove pollutants from wastewater. The obtained results indicated that sawdust has the super priority of removing pollutants than compost. Sawdust is used as adsorbent for minimizing values of pH, EC, TDS, TSS, RSC, SAR, PS and B. It was found that all the parameters were decreased in waste waters samples taken for study compared to before treatment. Finally, it could be concluded that, sawdust material was the best material for wastewater treatment under these experimental conditions. | ||||
