Abstract

One of the most urgent environmental issues is groundwater pollution, especially in relation 
to nitrate removal, which presents significant dangers to human health and the environment. In order 
to address nitrate contamination in groundwater, this review examines creative and sustainable 
methods that make use of waste materials, specifically recycled rubber from discarded tires.
 Based on 
experimental and field performance, the article covers many approaches that have been developed 
employing recycled rubber as an adsorbent for nitrate and evaluates their efficacy. It also emphasizes 
the chemical and physical characteristics of recycled rubber, such as particle size, surface changes, 
and interaction parameters, that improve its effectiveness in removing nitrate. With the help of this 
thorough analysis, the study offers recommendations for improving recycled rubber's performance as 
a long-term and practical remedy for nitrate contamination. It also calls for more investigation and 
development to increase the system's effectiveness in a range of groundwater conditions.
