abstract = {This article develops a mathematical model of Iron (Fe0) /sand filter taking into account the loss of porosity during the filtration process. The mass transport advection-dispersion equation is derived to predict, through numerical simulation, the spatiotemporal distribution of pollutants and the flow rate in the filter as well as the water quality at the exit of the filter. Simulation results demonstrated that by mixing sand and iron particles in proportion of 40 vol% Fe0, the filter can be used continuously for 83 months.},
