Purification performance of coconut fibers, palm kernel fibers, and shredded plastic bottles in biofilter septic tanks: efficiency and limitations

ABSTRACT This biofiltration system tests three substrates: plastic fragments (COD: -55%, turbidity: -95%, nitrates: -60%), palm kernel fibers (COD: -69%, turbidity: -95%, nitrates: -70%), and coconut fibers. The latter show optimal performances with a maximum reduction in COD (-7...
