Optimisation of eggshell-zeolite composite as a potential surfactant adsorbent for hand-washing wastewater

Surfactants present in handwashing wastewater impede performance of biological treatment processes. In this study, design expert software was used to optimise a composite adsorbent from eggshells and zeolite for removal of surfactants. Percentage of eggshells in the composite, calcination time and t...
