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. 610 $aSPM bound heavy metals 610 $aAkaki Sub-Basin 610 $afilter media 610 $avolcanic materials 610 $asuspended particulate matter (SPM) 610 $acolumn experiment 610 $aarsenic 610 $asorption 700 $aHaile Tolera$b Habtamu$4auth$01314768 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346940203321 996 $aSuitability of local materials to purify Akaki Sub-Basin water$93031944 997 $aUNINA
