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.PhysicsbicsscAkaki Sub-Basinarseniccolumn experimentfilter mediasorptionSPM bound heavy metalssuspended particulate matter (SPM)volcanic materialsPhysicsHaile Tolera Habtamuauth1314768BOOK9910346940203321Suitability of local materials to purify Akaki Sub-Basin water3031944UNINA
