Adsorbent material for multi-contaminant removal in wastewater treatment, soil remediation and aquaculture industries, assembly and method thereof

Abstract

The present invention discloses an adsorbent material for multi-contaminant removal in wastewater treatment, soil remediation and aquaculture industries, an assembly and a method thereof. The adsorbent material features luffa fibres with hexagonal cross-section holes, providing a robust structure and optimised flow dynamics to enhance pollutant removal efficiency. Agricultural fibres loaded into these holes work synergistically with the luffa to improve structural integrity and enable controlled turbulence during filtration. Activated carbon is incorporated for efficient adsorption of organic contaminants, while clinoptilolite particles, housed in containers within the luffa holes, facilitate ion exchange and the removal of heavy metals and ammonia compounds, including ammoniacal nitrogen. This inventive assembly combines advanced filtration techniques with eco-friendly materials, offering a versatile, durable, and scalable solution that addresses diverse environmental challenges. Its innovative design not only enhances adsorption efficiency but also promotes sustainability, making it an impactful advancement in the field of environmental management
