The aim of this work was the study of the combination of an inorganic pre-polymerized coagulant (PACl) with ferric species and polysilicic acid in various mixing order, Al/Fe/Si and OH/Al molar ratios, and two polymerization techniques for the production of a unique reagent representing a coagulant, more efficient than commercial PACl-18 and laboratory prepared PACllab for water or wastewater t...

Correlations between raw water characteristics and pH after enhanced coagulation to maximize dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal using four typical coagulants (FeCl3, Al2(SO4)3, polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and high performance polyaluminum chloride (HPAC)) without pH control were investigated. These correlations were analyzed on the basis of the raw water quality and the chemical and physic...

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-...

The objective of the research was to test the effect of iron and aluminium coagulants commonly used for lake re-cultivation, on the pike sperm motility and fertilisation. The coagulants caused changes in the analyzed hydrochemical parameters of the water such as: Fe, Mg, TSS, SO4 2and Cl. Selected parameters of sperm motility: MOT, VCL, VSL, VAP, LIN were estimated using CASA. The sperm motilit...

Landfill leachate may cause environmental problems if it is not properly managed and treated. An appropriate treatment process of landfill leachate often involves a combination of physical, chemical and biological methods to obtain satisfactory results. In this study, coagulation-flocculation was proposed as a pretreatment stage of partially stabilized landfill leachate prior to submerged biolo...

The membrane bioreactor (MBR) has emerged as an efficient compact technology for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The major drawback impeding wider application of MBRs is membrane fouling, which significantly reduces membrane performance and lifespan, resulting in a significant increase in maintenance and operating costs. Finding sustainable membrane fouling mitigation strategies ...

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...

Raw surface and ground waters used for drinking purposes can vary markedly in their chemical and biological composition. Inorganic content (such as salt, bicarbonate, clay and metal ions), organic content (natural organic matter and anthropogenic compounds, including pollutants) and micro-organisms present in raw water are key drivers for treatment processes that provide for safe and aesthetica...

most of the water treatment plants in iran discharge their sludge to the environment whithout consideration of possible side effects. since this kind of sludge is generally considered pollutant, the sludge treatment of water industry seems to be an essential task. obviously theweight and volume of solids produced during the coagulation process are much more than other wastes of water treatment ...

<p>Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter regulations has pushed various industries to look for appropriate technologies treat wastewater. Natural coagulants have recently been used as part of water and wastewater due their performance, cost-effectiveness when compared chemical coagulants, they produce less sludge are safer humans. A huge effort also taken find new plant sp...
