It is known that there are many factors which affect the removal of metals in conventional sewage treatment plant. The purpose of this research was the determination of ten metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, V, Li) in the wastewater of the town of Kavala (80,000 population), at the inlet and at the outlet of the waste water treatment plant under different conditions (strong rainfall, an average day and during holidays). The previously mentioned conditions showed the effect they have on the concentration of heavy metals in untreated waste water (the strong rainfall increases the concentrations of the Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr and Pb, and the holidays reduces the concentrations of the Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, Pb and Cd) and the removal ability of metals during the treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
