background; turbidity removal using inorganic coagulants such as iron and aluminum salts in water treatment processes causes environmental and human health concern. historically, the use of natural coagulant to purify turbid water has been practiced for a long time. recent research indicates that descurainia sophia seed can be effectively used as a natural coagulant to remove water turbidity. m...

one of the principles for designing and using the various units of water treatment plants is ability of assigning and predicting performance of those units in different and various conditions that could be checked by making pilot and could be modeled by means of available programs and software such as artificial neural network. at this study a model provided for predict performance of pressure ...

in this study, response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum raw sugar beet juice purification process conditions using bentonite to produce inverted liquid sugar. for this purpose, impact of factors on the purification process such as bentonite concentration (1-5 gr/li), ph (3.5-6) and temperature (35-95 ˚c) was investigated. for each response, a second-order polynomial model ...

the aim of this work was to optimize the coagulation-flocculation (cf) process applied tomunicipal wastewaters (ww). optimization of cf was performed to minimize chemical oxygen demand(cod), turbidity, sludge produced, and some metals in sludge. a box-behnken design was used to evaluate the effects and interactions of three factors such as type of biopolymer (guar, mesquite seed gum and opuntia...

Turbidity sensors can be used to continuously monitor the evolution of pollutant mass discharge. For two sites within the Paris combined sewer system, continuous turbidity, conductivity and flow data were recorded at one-minute time intervals over a one-year period. This paper is intended to highlight the variability in turbidity dynamics during wet weather. For each storm event, turbidity resp...
