The purpose of compiling this manuscript is to draw attention of young researchers on
portable devices that yield drinkable water. The various techniques for potable water …

A household slow sand filter (HSSF) is a widely used water treatment technology recognized
as one of the most effective and sustainable in reducing waterborne diseases. However …

The need of wastewater (WW) treatment is increasing along with the production of WW and
its disposal without treatment. With a smaller footprint, ease of operation, and relatively less …

Modified biosand filters (MBSF) are one of the emerging point-of-use water treatment
technologies. In this study, a series of laboratory scale MBSFs enriched with iron oxide …

The BioSand filter (BSF) is a household scaled, intermittently operated, slow sand filter. The
BSF requires maintenance to remove trapped sediments. This study evaluated the effects of …

Featured Application Bacterial removal in water treatment using a sand column
supplemented with adsorbents derived from hydrothermally treated sewage sludge. Abstract …

A biochar filter, in conjunction with a biosand filter, was used to remove environmentally
relevant concentrations of synthetic organic chemical such as atrazine, anthracene …

ABSTRACT In Massafer Yatta–Hebron Governorate, around 1,400 Palestinian people are
herding sheep and goats and live in caves and movable tents without a water network or …

The present study develops membrane hybrid system for drinking water that combines a
trickling filter (TF) and a thin-layer biosand filter (TBSF) prior to membrane. Two different …

Point-of-use biosand water filters are widely distributed in undeveloped or developing
regions due to their water treatment success and low-cost design, but two gaps remain in the …
