Development of natural fiber as a filter media in removing organic pollutants from greywater

Greywater is a wastewater originating from shower, bathtub, bathroom sink, kitchen sink and laundry. Despite the fact of wastewater in Malaysia may also include a complex mixture of organic matter, suspended solids, bacteria and common household chemicals, when used wisely and in a manner that is pr...
