Abstract

Abstract: Due to the environmental regulations and scarcity of water resources, it’s important to find ways for wastewater treatment for reusing in different purposes. Sand and media filtration is a commonly applied technology for the removal of suspended substances from water and is frequently used for drinking and process water production. In this research the silica sand deposits from Besher-Libya location were physically and chemically characterized as a prelim study to investigate its suitability as a wastewater-filter, the properties studied are; porosity, permeability, specific gravity, grain size distribution and chemical analysis. The obtained results were compared with the standard specifications according to Manvile (1986) and concluded that the results are promising and could be used as a wastewater-filter.
