EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOME AGRICULTURAL WASTE IN THE TREATMENT OF PRODUCED WATER
This study investigated the concentration of heavy metals in oil field produced water from Niger Delta, before and after treatment with locally sourced agricultural wastes. Two produced water samples were investigated for different metal ions such as; Lead, Nickel, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Chromium, Zinc, Manganese, Calcium, Arsenic, Boron, Tin and Barium. The produced water samples were treated with four different adsorbents which are; Orange peels, Banana peels, Palm Kernel Fiber a...
