Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and sand filter in removing total dissolved solids (TDS), Sulfate (SO4), chloride (Cl), (HCO3) in Bahr al-Najaf aquifer. Groundwater Samples were collected from a well in Bahr al-Najaf region to analyze some physical and chemical parameters (includes total dissolved solids, sulfates, chloride and bicarbonate). The results showed nano iron oxide has the following removal efficiency: 76.3 for TDS, 64% for SO4, 87.5% for HCO3 and 82.8% for Cl. However, the sand filter has much lower removal rates compared to nano iron oxide, with 3.7%, 5.3%, 50% and 3.5% for the mentioned pollutants, respectively
