In this analysis, the efficacy of adding coagulants such as Phaseolus lunatus and vulgaris (polymers) to coagulation process during treatment arsenic aqueous solution extract metal was investigated. Experiments were carried out evaluate output vulgaris, both individually in combination with arsenic, using standard Jar test protocol. P.lunatus P.vulgaris given doses ranging from 1 3 gm. For P.vu...

Flocculation with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl(4)) and titanium sulfate (Ti(SO(4))(2)) was investigated in terms of different coagulant doses, pH, turbidity, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV-254, colour, zeta potential, particle size and molecular weight distribution. The two coagulants were compared with the commonly used coagulants such as ferric chloride (FeCl(3)) and aluminium sulfate (Al...

The natural coagulant Moringa oleifera (MO) is considered to be an efficient coagulant with some advantages over chemical coagulants. Fluoride removal, using MO seed extract was investigated. The influence of MO dosage, initial F concentration, and pH were determined and modeled using the Box-Behnken design response surface methodology. With a constant initial F concentration, it was found that...

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...

The treatment of effluents requires new methodologies for the tailings. One option is use natural coagulants. Chitosan has amino groups in polymeric chains that allow it to act as a cationic polyelectrolyte and present high density charges, which are easily adsorbed on negatively charged surfaces, case most colloidal impurities water. Thus, this work used chitosan coagulation/flocculation proce...

Two coagulants, aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride, were tested to reduce natural organic matter (NOM) as a pretreatment prior to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration (MF) membranes for potable water treatment. The results showed that the two coagulants exhibited different treatment performance in NOM removal. Molecular weight (MW) distributions of NOM in the tested surface raw wate...

The use of synthetic coagulants is not regarded as suitable due to health and economic considerations. Studies were carried out in laboratory scale on deionised water containing synthetic turbidity of kaolinite. Experiments were carried out in four turbidity ranges: 10, 50, 500, 1000 (NTU) and the pH range 5-8. The efficiency of moringa oleifera seed extract and polyaluminum chloride was examin...
