Investigation of modified alumina material for remediation of contaminated oil: a review / Nurul Najwa Zam Bere
Human population and demand for clean water are found to be increased by years. This increases also parallel to the rapid growth of industrial activity. However, this indicates that there will be increased in production of oily wastewater. Food processing industry, electroplating industry and oil re...
