Coconut shell as agro-based filtration media for stormwater management pollution control

For the past decade, conventional filter media using River Sand (RS) has been commonly implemented as a stormwater management pollutant control to filter pollutants from runoff rainwater. However, the utilization of organic agro-based materials as biofilter media has yet to be fully explored and its...

Solid wastes For the past decade, conventional filter media using River Sand (RS) has been commonly implemented as a stormwater management pollutant control to filter pollutants from runoff rainwater.
