A coagulation–microfiltration (MF) system has the potential to remove natural organic matter and mitigate membrane fouling. The effect of flocculation conditions on MF performance was investigated using three membrane modules including stirred cell, dead-end MF, and submerged MF. The experimental results were analysed in terms of filterability, particle size, and floc structure as represented b...

the opuntia ficus indica mucilage was an abundant and a low cost product. in the presentpaper, it was tested as an eco-friendly flocculants for textile waste water treatment. its performance asflocculants in decolorization, cod removal and turbidity abatement was checked. the natural product wascharacterized using uv-vis and infra-red spectroscopy. the study of the effect, followed by an optimi...

Abstract The research aim was to analyze the optimum dosage of moringa seed and tamarind as an organic coagulant in removing tofu wastewater pollutants using coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation reactors. first step is manufacture by processing raw materials into powder filtered a 50 mesh filter dried. second determine 4 variations pH 5,6,7,8 NaOH solution, dosages obtained 2,3,4,5 gr/L. th...

One of the industrial areas in the south of Iran is Bandar Imam Petrochemical Economic Zone which has a lot of petrochemical complex, Farabi Petrochemical complex is one of those places. Coagulation/flocculation could be a typical methodology in water and wastewater treatment that a number of chemicals are added to assist the coagulation/flocculation and causes to the sedimentation. In this pap...

In the context of wastewater treatment with microalgae cultures, coagulation-flocculation followed by sedimentation is one of the suitable options for microalgae harvesting. This process is enabled by the addition of chemicals (e.g. iron). However, in a biorefinery perspective, it is important to avoid possible contamination of downstream products caused by chemicals addition. The aim of this s...

The performance of a conventional sequence (pre-ozonation, coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation, filtration, disinfection) and two advance sequences (pre-ozonation, nanofiltration; pre-ozonation, coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation, nanofiltration) on the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) and disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation potential was evaluated. Raw and treated waters we...

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment is an important issue for the minimization of pollution. POME is a highly polluting effluent containing various forms of organics and inorganic suspended solids. The coagulation flocculation process using Moringa oleifera seeds after oil extraction (MOAE) as a natural coagulant presents a viable alternative for the treatment of POME. A series of jar tests...

Surfactants are among the most widely disseminated xenobiotics that contribute significantly to the pollution profile of sewage and wastewaters of all kinds. Among the currently employed chemical unit processes in the treatment of wastewaters, coagulation-flocculation has received considerable attention for yielding high pollutant removal efficiency. Jar-test experiments are employed in order t...

Coagulation-flocculation constitute the backbone process in most water and wastewater treatment plants. This study focused on determining optimum coagulant dose for moringa oleifera seed extract, zeolite, ferric chloride, chitosan aluminium sulphate coagulants through coagulation, flocculation sedimentation process. It also ascertain which has potential higher removal of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb Zn. ...
