University of Basra master's thesis examines the removal of ammonium and phosphate from wastewater
A master's thesis at the University of Basra's College of Engineering investigated the removal of ammonium and phosphate from wastewater using treated zeolite stone.
The thesis, submitted by student Mohammed Nabil Ashour, aims to utilize chemically treated zeolite, which is characterized by a high ion exchange capacity, to improve the removal of phosphate and ammonium from wastewater.
The thesis involved conducting batch experiments under different conditions to study the effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, and pH on removal efficiency. Using response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD), the study optimized the treatment process.
