 abstract={Alluvial aquifer are one of Malaysia’s most abundant groundwater resources, highly demanded in East Coast area. However, the presence of sulfur in these aquifers causes the emission of hydrogen sulfide gas. This research aimed to provide an alternative study for removing sulfur using marble filter media in a cascade column design, where water flows from the highest to the lowest column. Two groups of marble sizes were involved in this filter: pebbles and sand-sized particles. The treatment used raw groundwater with the highest concentration of total sulfur being 537.1 ppm. Sand-sized marble had the highest efficiency of sulfur removal, reaching 98.3% at a flow rate of 0.011 l/s. As a result of the effective filtration, the true color reached 33-34 pt/Co, significantly reduced from the source value of 1000-1012 pt/Co. The application of marble for treating groundwater with the sulfur issue is still novel and promising for groundwater filtration, potentially benefiting consumers facing this problem.},
