Abstract Coagulation and flocculation are essential components of drinking water treatment, because they provide a reliable process for treating turbidity. This study aims to use design criteria that can be used Cimanggis Water Treatment Plant (WTP), so it produce fulfills the Drinking Quality Standard No. 492 Year 2010 by Health Minister Republic Indonesia. The WTP development refers existing ...

Flocculation achieved by raising the pH, termed alkaline flocculation is a sustainable way of inducing in marine microalgae. Flocs formed post-alkaline have potential to be harvested via dissolved air flotation (DAF) or sedimentation. While DAF results faster separation and biomass with higher solids content compared sedimentation, it has not been tested saline environments, particularly when c...

The efficiency of Moringa oleifera (MO) seeds as a natural coagulant in the coagulation/flocculation process, followed by nanofiltration (NF) for the removal of cyanobacterial cells and cyanotoxins is investigated. "Synthetic water" prepared for the tests comprised de-ionized water with an inoculum of microcystis protocystis cells to obtain turbidity within the 50-450 NTU range. Methodology fol...

1. Animals immunized with the formalinized filtrates of young toxic cultures of B. botulinus produce an antitoxic serum poor in precipitins. 2. Animals immunized with the formalinized filtrates of old and partly autolyzed toxic cultures produce an antitoxic serum containing precipitins. 3. Animals immunized with toxin-free autolyzed bacteria produce a serum free from antitoxin but rich in speci...

Solid-liquid separation of manure is a method to produce nutrient and dry matter rich fractions with higher volumetric methane potential than that of the original liquid manure. Centrifugation and chemical precipitation and flocculation are efficient options for such separation. Centrifugation efficiency depends on factors such as manure type, G-force, and dewatering volume, while chemical prec...

Treatment of tar-containing wastewater is necessary for the successful operation of biomass gasification plants (BGPs). In the present study, tar-containing wastewater was treated using lime and alum for the removal of in-organics, followed by adsorption on powdered activated carbon (PAC) for the removal of organics. Limealum experiments were performed in a jar apparatus and activated carbon st...

A study was performed to investigate the impact of turbulent heterogeneity on aggregation and breakup in a flocculation reactor. The influence of the average characteristic velocity gradient (G), particle concentration, and coagulation mechanism on the flocculation performance was also investigated. Experiments were performed in a bench-scale reactor with a low-shear axial-flow impeller using a...

Precipitation of arsenic as As2S3 produces little waste sludge, has the potential for low chemical consumption and selective metal(loid) removal. In this study, removal from acidic (pH 2), metallurgical wastewater was tested in industrially relevant conditions. Sulfides added at a S:As molar ratio 2.5 5 resulted 99% 84% As(III) As(V). industrial containing 17% As(V) nearly instantaneous. For sy...
