“…Motivated by the study of Park J [20], Crouthamel B [21] and Kershaw D [22] found that tire rubber had a capability of adsorbing aromatic hydrocarbons, such as ethyl benzene, toluene, and o-xylene, confirming the findings by Park J [19]. Since then, several studies [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]58] have explored the ability of end-of-life tires to sorb organic compounds and validated earlier study findings. In a study focused on a leach field, Finney B [26] observed that the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate in a TDA leach field was greater than that in a rock leach field.…”

“…Moreover, the rubber in TDA can remove pesticides, and the steel wire can remove phosphorus by precipitation. The required thickness of the TDA layer for mitigating the movement of pesticides and fertilizers through runoff and infiltration can be calculated using the following equations [27]:…”

“…Empirical estimation has shown that 15 cm of TDA or TDA-baled block material could adsorb 99% of 6PPD from roadway runoff for 50 years. Park et al [20,27] developed empirical equations for estimating tire rubber thickness to remove a fraction of organic chemicals, such as TDA, based on tire rubber's physical and chemical properties. TDA comprises 75% to 80% weight for weight (w/w) of organic carbon material and 10 to 15% w/w of ferric material-steel wires.…”

Tire-derived aggregate (TDA) is an entirely recycled material created by processing scrap tires, which are shredded into a fundamental geometric shape, typically measuring from 5 to 30 cm in size. TDA possesses desirable properties such as low earth pressure, improved drainage, and a lightweight structure, making it an ideal material for numerous civil engineering applications. Unfortunately, the environmental suitability of TDA use has previously been questioned. This article outlines that TDA does not release a significant amount of potentially toxic compounds, the leaching rate in surrounding water environments is low, and TDA can even be a medium to remove nutrients and toxic organic and inorganic compounds commonly found in agricultural land and urban runoff. This study aims to collect the most up-to-date scientific data on the environmental impact of scrap tires and evaluate the data specifically for TDA applications in civil and environmental engineering applications. TDA has been proven to be an environmentally safe, long-lasting, cost-effective, and sustainable resource with many potential applications in civil engineering. Guidelines should be developed for specific projects to achieve a circular economy for end-of-life tires in the form of TDA to avoid potential environmental issues and problems.

“…Moreover, AAWSA already uses oxidation tank but it takes more space in order to start advanced membrane technology, as it is experienced in nine condominium houses in the city. Thus, conventional treatment method is implemented to treat the city's wastes, which includes physical, biological and chemical treatments [48,49].…”

Water is one of the most important compound that comprises our largest planet' (earth), and is the fluids of most organisms that are living on earth [1]. It constantly circulates in between atmosphere and earth surfaces, which includes the land, rivers, lakes, ponds and oceans that make up our planet. 70.9% of the earth surfaces are covered by water, and of which about 97% is found in salt water oceans, 2.4% are ice caps, 0.6% are land surface water such as rivers, lakes and ponds, 1.6% water is retained in the ground water, and the remaining 0.001% is found as vapor, clouds and precipitation [1,2]. Africa appears to have abundance water resources including more than 17 big rivers, which covered over 1,700,000 km 2 , more than 160 lakes, which covered larger than 27 km 2 catchments, vast wetlands, and limited but widespread. The annual average precipitation of Africa is plentiful, as compared to that of Europe and North America [3]. Water in Africa is mainly uses for agriculture and domestic purpose. However, utilization of water for industry purpose is very low, which is estimated to be only 3.8% of total annual renewable water resources [4]. Our country Ethiopia, has totally 12 river basins with annual runoff volume of 122 billion m 3 of water, and the estimated runoff is equivalent to 2.6-6.5 billion m 3 of ground water potential. Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, has a number of rivers, which are the tributary of main/big/tiliku and little/small/tinishu Akaki River [5]. For example, Kebena, Banche Yeketu, Kortame, Bulbula, Lequ Soramba and kotebe and Fincha, rivers are the main tributaries of the Akaki Rivers [6]. Both of the big and small Akaki rivers are the main branches of Akaki river, which are flowing into the southern direction of Aba-Samuel Lakes [7]. The Great Akaki river rises from northeastern part (Entoto Kidane Miheret Mountain area) of Addis Ababa city and flows into the eastern part of city [6], and finally runs into Aba-Samuel dam after 53 km.

“…Meanwhile, sorption studies pertaining to ethylbenzene [ 5 ], toluene [ 20 ], aromatic hydrocarbons, naphthalene [ 21 ], and lead ions [ 22 ] have been performed. Tyre rubber has been shown to sorb pesticides and nitrates and remove phosphorus from water via an iron precipitation process [ 23 ].…”
