Abstract:

Storm water from South western Nigeria was collected using composite sampling. The Storm water was then analyzed according to the standard methods for the examination of wastewater using COD, BOD, DO etc. The characterized water was treated using raw and Hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide, HDTMA-Br clay. The research was aimed at the effectiveness of clay sample in storm water treatment. The results of both the treated and untreated storm water were recorded. Raw clay was modified by ion-exchange reactions using HDTMA-Br. The reaction process was carried out at a temperature of 50°C at various times using a mechanical stirrer at a speed of 300rpm. The physicochemical properties of raw clay samples A and B were determined: pH 5.42 and 5.32, Ca 3.00 and 1.50cmol/kg, silt 20.00 and 22.00% respectively.
