Abstract :
To evaluate the effectiveness of apatite minerals in removing different contaminants, from low quality water in the industrial city of abha, Asir region, southwestern of Saudi Arabia, two phosphatic clay dominated by apatite mineral were selected. In situ remediation experiment proved that apatite mineral has the highest affinity for Pb and removed more than 94% from initial Pb concentration. The rest of contaminants followed the descending order of: Zn < Mn
