The effectiveness study of cockle shell in treating acidic surface water

Malaysia was reported to produce 13,000 metric ton of cockle shell during Ninth Malaysia Plan (2006-2010). In 2007, Malaysia has a number of 1055 of farmers working on cockle cultivation agriculture with 6000 hectare of cultivation area (lzura, 2008). These figures do not only indicate the vast avai...
