Heavy metals (Fe, Cu, and Cr) removal from wastewater by moringa oleifera press cake

The consumption of water nowadays is increasing and the wastewater from variety of industry and domestic are increasing as well. If this wastewater is being untreated, it will be wasted and the chemicals inside the water especially heavy metal are harmful to the living organism. There are few conven...
