Boron Removal from Model Waste Water Using Adsorption Process: A Case Study

The separation technologies for boron removal vary from one industry to another depending on the quality of the waste water and the level of boron itself. Adsorption technique is believed to successfully remove boron that exist in low concentration from an aqueous solution. In this paper, the sui...
