Recent observations by Hodge and Metcalfe (1957) have demonstrated the ability of a number of hydrophilic colloids to flocculate cells of various bacterial species. Flocculation of the cells occurred by a mechanism previously proposed by Michaels (1954); namely, adsorption of the flocculant on the hydrated surface of the colloid particle, and a bridging between the suspended particles. In gener...

Midwestern US agroecosystems suffer greatly due to excess phosphorus (P) in runoff from land-applied manure. Precipitating P as struvite would remove it the manure stream, allowing efficient storage, transportation, and use slow-release fertilizer. To achieve precipitation, organic solids calcium (Ca) must first be removed This study assessed precipitation dairy using a novel processing pipelin...

Due to population growth, together with anthropogenic activities have polluted and depleted drinking water worldwide. Therefore, efforts been made develop physico-chemical operations for its reuse. However, the traditional implementation of inorganic compounds has generated collateral effects on human health environment. Consequently, plant species used remove pollutants from asan economical ef...
