Abstract

The dataset currently available comprises data on the removal rates of heavy metals (Ba, Se, Cr, Fe, Cd, As, and Co) through the incorporation of seashells and palm oil kernel shells into pervious concrete for stormwater treatment. Stormwater runoff was collected from commercial areas in Taman University, Skudai, Johor, Malaysia. The stormwater samples underwent filtration and were preserved in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles at a temperature of 4 °C for use as incoming water. The outgoing water, referred to as effluent, was obtained from tests performed on pervious concrete samples after a curing period of 28 days. The pervious concrete mixes were created with a water-to-binder ratio (w/b ratio) of 32% and a sand ratio of 10%. Three different levels of palm oil kernel shell and seashell content were used as coarse aggregate replacements: 0%, 25%, and 50%. Two single-size group were considered for both palm oil kernel shell and seashell: (6.3-9.5 mm) and (4.75-6.3 mm). Heavy metal analyses were conducted on the influent and effluent using a PerkinElmer ELAN 6100 Series Inductively Coupled Plasma- Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The available datasets consist of both raw and analyzed data.
