Removal capacities of the filter media for Cu, Zn, Ni, and Pb reach 90%. The main removal mechanisms involved are weak sorption and surface precipitation.SPM bound heavy metalsAkaki Sub-Basinfilter mediavolcanic materialssuspended particulate matter (SPM)column experimentarsenicsorptionHaile Tolera Habtamuauth1314768BOOK9910346940203321Suitability of local materials to purify Akaki Sub-Basin water3031944UNINA
