ABSTRACT

Water shortage is one of the problems not only the Philippines is facing but the whole

world too. Water scarcity is one of the issues confronting not only the Philippines, but the

entire world. A Water shortage happens when the water supplies are scarce, the supply is

decreased to minimize the usage of the water. Water shortage happens when there is are a

lot of consumers using water and the capacity of the stored water is going down. The

5

supply of the-omit water is getting low because of the massive consumption of the-omit

water.

The main goal of this study is to create a filtration system using oyster shells, which is

already a waste product, and other natural minerals to help with the phenomenon that the

world is experiencing, which is the water shortage.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

11
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

According to Kevin R. Stone, drinking water is like washing out your insides. The

water will cleanse the system, fill you up, decrease your caloric load and improve the

function of all your tissues.

Two billion people lack access to clean water for drinking. In the Philippines, there

are is a 91% estimate of the population in the country having access to clean water. Water

services access 62% to 100% of the country's household hygiene and sanitation.

Getting access to safe drinking water, good hygiene, and proper sanitation are

necessities for health and wellness in the country. Learning to stay healthy can pass to be

passed to the next-generation, especially to children's health. Nutrition is mainly the focus to

increase the chances of success of healthy growth, according to UNICEF. On a remote island

where poverty is high, equality is being discriminated against due to lack of access to clean

water and sanitation, which causes a low rate of productivity due to poor health.

In the Philippines' water and sanitation crisis, there are 3 million people that depend

on any water sources that look like they are drinkable, and 7 million people did do not have

access to

potable water. The Philippines faces more incoming challenges when it comes to water

supply and proper sanitation. The Philippines is rapidly developing and urbanizing,

struggling to gain enough access to water and sanitation service services.

12

The capital of the Philippines, Manila, had no changes in over a week. Water is a

problem in Manila. there There are people waiting in lines every day after going home and

bringing many empty buckets and carrying them home, then going back again in line just to

have water. As the fire trucks keep coming as early as possible to give more supply of water,

because of El Niño weather since March 9 water has been cut off every 22hours per day that

last for 3 months. Water has been cut off every 2 hours per day for 3 months due to El Nio

weather since March 9.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

According to Seung Bum Lee (August 2008). Using an activation approach, the

adsorption properties of oyster shell adsorbents were studied. Discarded oyster shells were

washed and cleaned then powdered and charcoaled them at 1000 °C and at the best quality

of carbonized oyster shell powder starting at high temperatures ranges from 600 to 1000

°C. Discarded oyster shells were washed and cleaned before being powdered and

charcoaled at 1000 °C and at the highest quality of carbonized oyster shell powder, which

began at high temperatures ranging from 600 to 1000 °C. To attest the raw shell's potential

to adsorb the particle, a difference of gas and liquid phasing in adsorption was right. The

adsorbent performed poorer in the gas phase than commercially available adsorbents. The

phase of liquid shows high capability of adsorption to commercial adsorbent performance

as benzene was used.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This study aims to prove that oyster shells can be converted into activated carbon with

due process. For oyster shells to become activated carbon, it is necessary to understand the

certain temperature needed for the oyster shells to turn into activated carbon. This chapter

includes the research studies or references about the process of turning oyster shells into

activated carbon. This chapter also includes the importance of activated carbon in water

treatment, and the characteristics of the adsorption process of the activated carbon.

Foreign Literature

This study aims to see how the researchers better understand the process of turning

oyster shells into activated carbon to be used as water treatment. This study also includes

the importance of activated carbon in water treatment, and the characteristics of the

adsorption process of the activated carbon.

For the importance of activated carbon in water treatment,

According to Alves, A., Lasmar, D., de Andrade Miranda, I., da Silva Chaar, J. and

dos Santos Reis, J. (2021), Sheele used coal in treating of water and the activated carbon

was mostly used worldwide to adsorb contaminants, also using natural coal to decolorize

the solution since 1786. It was known as the first quantification of adsorbing power of

activated carbon in the liquid phase. Early 20th century the activated carbon appeared

commercially with the Von Ostreijko a Swedish scientist that obtained two patents in 1900

23
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

and 1901. The basic concept of chemical and physical activation to contain the patents is

called thermal activated carbon that qualify the surface area and builds the high porous

structure. It gives probability of different application uses to design activated carbon, such

as medical uses or removal of contaminants and odors, separating gasses and purify

waters.

Activated carbon is a raw material that has high capacity of adsorbing and used to

treat the drinking water, to manufacturing this type requires high cost to consider its origin

of material, but the biological materials are low cost and vast amount of material in any

region that can be used in treatment and control of pollutant emitting, detoxification, and

etc. Being a low-cost material, it has disadvantages to process the charcoal that requires

high temperature that is over 700˚C. 

In addition, powdered and granular activated carbon provides faster adsorption speeds

and it has difficulty in handling it that has industrial limited use. In these days that

activated carbon removes harmful impurities, either water or air treatment is essential. It

was mainly characterized as an organic matter in low concentration and has benefits of

reduction in bacterial growth, and its biofilms formation and corrosion have network

distribution. Getting reaction from minimizing the toxic by product. This activated carbon

is irreplaceable to guarantee its living and make drinking water.

For the adsorption process of the activated carbon.

According to Junboum Park (2018), Oyster shell powder is a potential adsorbent

material that can be used to control pollution in groundwater. The current research

objective is to evaluate the heavy metal ion adsorption properties by oyster shell powder in

an aqueous solution. Three kinds of heavy metals (copper, cadmium, and lead) were

adsorbed using oyster shell powder from aqueous solution. The effects of different

temperatures, contact times, pH values, and initial concentrations were examined in order

to optimize the conditions used for heavy metal decontamination. Cadmium and copper

adsorption behaviors were suitable for modelling by the Langmuir isotherm, and lead

adsorption behavior was best modelled by the Freundlich isotherm. Adsorption situations

fitted a pseudo second-order kinetic model. Intraparticle diffusion of heavy metal ions by

oyster shell powder could be divided into two stages: rapid diffusion first, followed by a

stable second stage. The maximum adsorption amount was ranked in an ascending order as

that to copper, cadmium, and then lead for both single and competitive systems. The

adsorption capacities of copper, cadmium, and lead ions by oyster shell powder were

lower in a competitive system than in a single system, indicating that competitive

adsorption could occur.

For the adsorption process of the activated carbon.

According to Seung Bum Lee (2008). Using an activation approach, the adsorption

properties of oyster shell adsorbents were studied. Discarded oyster shells were washed

and cleaned then powdered and charcoaled them at 1000 °C and at the best quality of

carbonized oyster shell powder starting at high temperatures ranges from 600 to 1000 °C.

To attest the raw shell's potential to adsorb the particle, a difference of gas and liquid

phasing in adsorption was right. The adsorbent performed poorer in the gas phase than

commercially available adsorbents. The phase of liquid shows high capability of

adsorption to commercial adsorbent performance as benzene was used.

According to Chunhua Xia, Xueying Zhang, Linghui Xia (March 2021). There are

60% of oyster shells that can be found in the beach that pollute the soil. In 800 °C of heat

can completely process the oyster shell into carbon oxide, it also has the mesoporous

characteristic structure. Purifying water that uses permeable oyster shell bricks was

improved through the process of aggregating oyster shells. It also has the ability to adsorb

the effects of the heavy metal ions. The result of pH values was explored while using the

permeable oyster shell bricks via atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results were

optimum and the oyster shell’s content has a standard weight of 2.5 kg while permeable

oyster shell bricks weight’s 515-525 g. The effect of adsorbing the Nickel, Zinc,

26
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

Manganese in their water measure 7.5 -7.9 pH values at a long time period. The results

show that it has great potential for continuous adsorption effect for treating the water.

There are 5 Steps of preparing Permeable Oyster Shell Brick

1. Crushing - After the oyster shells gets clean which came from the beach, the shells go

in the crusher for 5 min and place on screen mesh sieves and transferred to the tool basin.

The crushed shells get on the screen to gather the powdered or granulated shells.

2. Weighing - The quantity of the following items was weighed according to the

specification

a. Oyster Shell

b. Cement

c. Diatomite

d. Additives

e. Water

1. Stirring - After weighing, it goes to the blending process. Dye and water was slowly

poured and stirred for 30 min.

2. Molding - after stirring, it was loaded to mold and pressed for 10 minutes and will be

stored at a ventilated area for 24 hours and placed in the furnace for 10 minutes to calcine.

3. Maintaining - The permeable oyster shell brick will be wrapped in a plastic film and

gets watered once at a day.

According to Dennis Abraham Thazhamon (2021). Activated carbon assures the

water consumption is free from harmful contaminants such as pesticides and

pharmaceuticals products. It also has taste and odor control that removes undesirable tastes

and odor. Activated carbon excels in controlling disinfectant by product at drinking water

station.

Activated carbon excels at adsorption which helps to trap different chemicals. As the

activated carbon is used with water or gas, it takes away one or more atoms, molecules, or

ions on its surface.

Activated carbon has the ability to absorb all contaminants that are excellent choices

for water treatment in plants which removes harmful chemicals and metals.

SYNTHESIS

According to some foreign and local researchers, oyster shells has have the potential

to be adsorbent material that can be used to control polluted water. Also, the raw water

that was examined by the researchers has heavy metal decontamination due to the aqueous

solution. The researchers also studied that oyster shells has have a potential on adsorbing

liquid, this study also shows how oyster shells can be processed to be activated carbon

28

with the process of steam activation at the temperature of 700 to 800 Celsius and

carbonized at 600 to 1000 Celsius.

CHAPTER 3

METHODOLOGY

In this chapter, the researchers will discuss the research design that was used, the

process that was made in the study, the methodological framework, the procedures on how

the researchers gathered their data, the statistical treatment of data that was used in this

study, and the sampling technique. This methodology will help the researchers to gather

data, test data, insights about the study, and to present the data in a formal way and to have

more reliable results.

RESEARCH DESIGN

This study has quantitative experimental research design because this study aims to

gather quantitative data to prove that the study is effective and efficient. Also, this study

aims to make use of the waste materials like oyster shells, rain water rainwater, river

water, etc. so that it they can be innovated into something that is beneficial to the

METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK

Figure 3.0

The researchers used quantitative research design, which has an experimental research

method, because the researchers gathered their numerical data through the results of

laboratory testing in Bambang, Sta. Cruz, Manila. The sampling technique that was used is

random sampling because we gathered our sample or control water in the river in

Nagcarlan, Laguna and the rain water and tap water is from Parañaque City. The research

30
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

instrument instruments that was were used are water analysis testing which is made done

by the laboratory and the pH testing which is conducted by the researchers with the use of

a pH testing kit. The data analysis that was used is statistical analysis because the

researchers used the data that was gathered from the testings testing and analyzed it using

a control chart.

DATA GATHERING

The researchers gathered their data by making performing water analysis testing,

water potability testing and pH testing through laboratory testing in the Manila Health

Department, District III at Bambang St, Sta. Cruz, Manila.

The Manila Health Department, District III issued six sterile vials to the researchers

for them to fill with three control waters and three filtered waters with three different

sample sources. The researchers were given instructions by the medical technology

clinical laboratory scientist after filling the sterile vials. It takes two to three days for the

clinic to incubate and check if there will be a possible colonization of the microorganisms

that will happen. After checking if there is colonization of microorganisms that happened

to the sample water, the laboratory will now release the results. The researchers also used

a pH tester kit that was bought in an online market and tested the three different control

waters and the three different filtered waters.

31
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

The results were evaluated and tabulated using Microsoft Excel and were submitted to

the statistician to fully analyze and evaluate the results for a more precise and accurate

comparison of the water samples.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

The researchers collected three control water samples from river water, rain water,

and tap water and three filtered water samples and stored it them in a sterile vial. The

researchers submitted the sterile vials to the laboratory for the laboratory to do the water

analysis testing. The water will be incubated for two to three days for the micro bacteria to

culture if there is are any. The results will be given to the researchers after a week. For the

pH testing, the researchers collected three control water samples and three filtered water

samples and stored it them in a container. The researchers dipped the pH testing kit to the

water samples and checked the pH level of the water for the researchers to differentiate the

pH level of the different water samples.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

32
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

The researchers used water analysis testing to check the total coliform coliforms and

the fecal coliform of the water. Total coliforms are the bacteria that was were found in

soils and the fecal coliform is the group of total coliforms, a bacteria which that are

warm-blooded animals have. The researchers also used pH testing to test the acidity of the

water. The researchers used an observation method based from the result, the researchers

found out that the micro bacterial count of total coliform and fecal coliform of the control

water is a lot higher than the micro bacterial count of the filtered water. Based on the

results, the researchers used an observation method and discovered that the micro bacterial

count of total coliform and fecal coliform in the control water is significantly higher than

the micro bacterial count in the filtered water.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

The researchers used random sampling because the researchers went to the river and

collected their sample or control water without bias.

STATISTICAL TREATMENT

The researchers used Mann-Whitney U test and T-test to differentiate the data that

was gathered by the researchers at the laboratory. The researchers used Mann-Whitney U

test to compare for the significant difference between the unfiltered group and the filtered

group. The researchers also used T-test to compare the means of the unfiltered group and

the filtered group.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Mann-Whitney U

Water sample from filtered water (Mdn = 1.1) were higher than water sample from

unfiltered water (Mdn = 2.6). A Mann-Whitney test indicated that this difference was

statistically not significant, U(NFiltered = 3, NUnfiltered=3,) = 1.5, z = -1.549, p=0.121.

T-Test

Filtered water has a higher PH level (M = 7.77, SD = 0.73) than unfiltered water (M =

6.82, SD = 1.09). However, the difference is not significant because the null hypothesis is not

rejected, t(4)=1.254, p(0.278)>0.05.

use of those kind of materials. Oyster shells are being burnt and powdered. The

researchers burned the oyster shells to produce activated carbon which is needed in

filtering water. The researchers pulverized the burnt oyster shells, black lava rocks, red

lava rocks, and sand to increase its surface area so that there will be more room for the

absorption of the unwanted microorganisms.

This figure shows the water filtration system that the researchers built. The first step

in the researchers’ water filtration system is the upper catch basin which will serve as the

source of water. After the catch basin gets filled up with raw water, it will undergo the first

stage of the researchers’ filtration system which is the oyster shells that turned into

activated carbon. After that stage, it will go through the next stages of filtration system

which is the natural minerals that the researchers’ gathered. Then, it will be stored in the

lower catch basin which will serve as the storage of the filtered water.

Mann-Whitney U testing of the BGB (Brilliant Green Bile Broth) microbial count

Figure 4.7

Water sample from filtered water (Mdn = 1.1) were higher than water sample from

unfiltered water (Mdn = 2.6). A Mann-Whitney test indicated that this difference was

statistically not significant, U(NFiltered = 3, NUnfiltered=3,) = 1.5, z = -1.549, p=0.121.

T-Test for the pH level of water

Figure 4.8

56
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

Filtered water has a higher PH level (M = 7.77, SD = 0.73) than unfiltered water (M =

6.82, SD = 1.09). However, the difference is not significant because the null hypothesis is not

rejected, t(4)=1.254, p(0.278)>0.05.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCLUSION

The researchers conclude the following:

1.) Oyster shells can be turned into activated carbon which is one of the components in

water filtration.

2.) The micro bacterial count of the raw water is a lot higher than the filtered water with

the use of activated carbon.

3.) The BGB (Brilliant Green Bile Broth) count must be less than 1.1 in order for the water

to pass the water analysis testing.

57
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

4.) The EC (Electrical Conductivity) count must be less than 1.1 in order for the water to

pass the water analysis testing.

5.) The pH level of the raw water will change through the process of the researcher’s

filtration system.

6.) The filtration system of the researchers takes 4 minutes and 32 seconds to have 1.5

liters of filtered water.

RECOMMENDATION

The researchers recommendations are the following:

1. The researchers recommends the use of oyster shells as active carbon in water filtration

of tap, river, and rain water to turn into potable water.

2. Establishment of standard procedure to be the basis of the process in filtering rain water,

river water and tap water.

3. The researchers recommends the water filtration system to help in giving solutions to

water shortage or water scarcity that is a common phenomenon in the world.

58
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

4. The researchers also recommends to use natural waste materials in water filtration.

For the alternative course of action:

1. The researchers may include to study the testing of alkalinity.

2. The researchers may include to study the mineral components of the water.

3. The researchers may include to study the benefits of drinking the filtered water.

4. The researchers can improve their product by manufacturing the materials needed in the

filtration system in application of CNC machines or plastics molder.

5. The researchers can apply the method of reverse osmosis to apply force on the filtration

system for the unfiltered water to go through the smallest holes to filter the water.

6. Continuous monitoring of water filtration performance to check the timespan of the

filter before changing or disposing the filter components.

59
SAN PEDRO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Km. 30 Old National Highway, Brgy. Nueva, San Pedro City, Laguna

7. Conduct microbial testing after water filtration to determine the consistency of the

quality of the filtered water.

8. Conduct pH testing after filtration to determine if the water's acidity is consistent.
