Hemp as a sorbent for disinfectant-polluted water treatment

Abstract

In this paper, we tried a different natural sorbent on stormwater, collected in different spots, to see their effect on the water quality (turbidity, colour, conductivity, pH). We focused on hemp as it is a natural reactive used for insolation that has a natural sorption capacity [9]. Our aim was to find a sorbent efficient to treat stormwater, especially water with a high concentration of disinfectant, as the current sanitary situation comes with an important use of disinfectant to clean public places, such as public transport, restaurant’s terrace, or streets in general.
