The research is focus on monitoring the performance of various formulated adsorbent mix ratio of clay soil with some agro-based materials in treatment of contaminated water environment. The agro-based material used was Plantain Ogoni Red (POR) and fresh water environment was used for this research. The agro-based material was processed into different particle sizes of 150 𝜇m, 300 𝜇m, 600 𝜇m and 1.18 mm and the clay soil into fine particle as well as the mix ratios of R1:9, R2:8, R3:7, R4:6 and R5:5 formulated as adsorbents. The grain volume bulk density, porosity, ash content and iodine number of each sample was determined including physicochemical properties of clay soil and all the adsorbent. The research was carried out to examine the suitability of the various formulated adsorbent mixing ratios that will be high in potential in terms of optimum percentage removal of AGO in fresh water contaminated environment. The performance of the formulated adsorbent was monitored by considering the following parameters adsorbed by the adsorbent, ammonia, nitrogen, chlorine, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, silicon, silicon and total petroleum hydrocarbon. The maximum percentage removal of parameters from the contaminated fresh water environment was 95% of C4-Fe- AGO-4:6-150𝜇m > 35% of C4-N-AGO-4:6-1,18 mm > 33% of C4-S-AGO-4:6-1.18 mm > 3.3% of C4- NH3-AGO-4:6-150 𝜇m of Plantain Ogoni Red – POR mix ratio achieved. Finally, the research has showcased the potential of the various adsorbents formulated and the possible element and compound it can be adsorbed with respect to the particle size as well as the mix ratios.
Keywords: Potential, particle, plantain, Ogoni, soil, integrity, adsorbent.
