Removal of Hazardous Pollutants from Tannery Wastewater by Naval Filter
The filter media pumice was crushed and graded and effective size was determined by using standard sieve. The composite sample wastewater was collected from Dire tannery, Addis Ababa Ethiopia. The physicochemical analysis of wastewater samples has been done before and after 12, 24, and 72 hours treatment using standard methods.

Use of zero-valent iron-modified sand filters for greywater
The conventional sand filter when used alone for on-site treatment of greywater fails to meet different reuse standards, and hence there is a need to improve the potential of sand filters to remove different contaminants from greywater. Performance of zero-valent iron-modified (ZVI) sand filters is investigated in the present study for the …
