Sulfide Removal From The Sulfide Spring

In this study ferrous sulfate had been used as an oxidant for removing the sulfide from water samples taken from sulfide spring in Hamam al-alil south of the Mosul city. The study revealed that ferrous sulfate is efficient in removing sulfide in dose not to exceed to 200mg/l with an efficiency of 77%, also adding of Bentonite clay with ferrous sulfate in a dose of 150mg/l and eliminate the black color due to addition of ferrous sulfate, However; Bentonite clay is inefficient in removing sulfide from the water with dose more than 300mg/l, also the study revealed that the use of Bentonite clay alone or with ferrous sulfate reduce the turbidity of treated water with efficiency more than 89%.
