The aim of this study was to characterize landfill leachate of Çorlu that was heavily industrialized, and to examine the application of coagulation-flocculation and adsorption for the treatment of this leachate. This deposited area is non-regulated and municipal and industrial wastes are deposited uncontrollably. The experiments were conducted to investigate the combined process of coagulation-...

background: untreated leachate is being discharged into the environment in many countries worldwide. leachate treatment methods have not been unified so far due to the variable composition of leachate. moreover, the lack of appropriate treatment and disposal of leachate causes environmental pollution. this study aimed to compare removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (cod) and total suspe...

BACKGROUND: In this paper, the efficiency of Guar gum as a biopolymer has been compared with two other widely used inorganic coagulants, ferric chloride (FeCl3) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3), for the treatment of effluent collected from rubber washing tanks of a rubber concentrate industry. Settling velocity distribution curves were plotted to demonstrate the flocculating effect of FeCl3, AlCl3...

Problem statement: Turbid waters, containing colloidal particles, are normally treated by coagulation-flocculation followed by clarification. Ferric chloride and alum, which are the most common types of coagulants in water treatment plants of Iran as well as many other countries, were investigated with the aim of determining their capabilities to reduce turbidity of drinking water. Turbidity wa...

the removal of organic precursors of disinfection by-products (dbps), i.e. natural organic matter (nom), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of dbps. trihalomethanes (thms) as the main group of dbps are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and cns adverse effects. this study which pre...

This is the first study to systematically investigate the different behaviors of Microcystis aeruginosa in the sludges formed by AlCl3, FeCl3, and polymeric aluminium ferric chloride (PAFC) coagulants during storage. Results show that the viability of Microcystis aeruginosa in PAFC sludge was stronger than that of cells in either AlCl3 or FeCl3 sludge after the same storage time, while the cell...

background: nitrate is an acute and well-known hazardous contaminant, and its contamination of water sources has been a growing concern worldwide in recent years. this study evaluated the feasibility of nitrate removal from water using the traditional coagulants alum and ferric chloride with lower concentrations than those used in the conventional coagulation process. methods: in this research,...

heavily polluted wastewater from sanitary landfill presents the leachate characteristics that need special treatment and disposal. concentration of chemical oxygen demand (cod), ammonia nitrogen (nh3-n), heavy metal and other pollutant content are often larger than standard requirement after applying biological/physico-chemical treatment.thus, the combination of coagulationflocculation and chem...
