Abstract: “The approach of this paper is to give evidence that compost, commonly produced by organic waste treatment, can be further utilized and treated as a precursor of activated carbon for Waste-Washing Wastewater treatment. The inorganic waste treatment generates harmful Waste-Washing Wastewater as by-product which is unreliable to total zero waste term in the integrated solid waste management. The Application of Compost-Based Activated Carbon is as filter for contaminant adsorption to be made as Compost Adsorption reactor for optimum treatment. The results show that Compost Adsorption treatment has a very good efficiency of high-turbidity removal and allows phosphate removal”
