20 Jul A Study on Removal of Heavy Metal and Green Algae in River Using Chestnut By-Products
This study aims to develop eco-friendly algae remover and heavy metal removal by utilizing the following two characteristics by-products of discarded chestnuts: (1) Polyphenols contained in chestnut by-products are effective in removing heavy metals. (2) The porous structure formed by carbonizing the outer shells of chestnuts may absorb algae. Using abandoning chestnut by-products can minimize the costs of raw material costs, enable mass collection, be relatively simple in making process, and be eco-friendly way to remove heavy metals. And it is expected to be fully utilized as a way to fundamentally solve the algae phenomenon that occurs on a large scale every summer as it is simple and does not cause secondary damage.
