−A biomaterial was successfully synthesized from Plantago ovata by using an FeCl3-induced crude extract (FCE). The potential of FCE to act as a natural coagulant was tested for the pretreatment of real textile wastewater. Tests were performed to evaluate the effects of FCE quantity, salt concentration, and wastewater pH on chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction during a coagulation/flocculation...

Coagulation/flocculation (CF) by use of alum and cationic polymer polyDADMAC, was performed as a pretreatment for remediation of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW). Various factors were investigated and the process was optimized to improve efficiency of removal of organic carbon and turbidity. Destabilization of the particles occurred through charge neutralization by adsorption of hydroxid...

Abstract Coagulation and flocculation are essential components of drinking water treatment, because they provide a reliable process for treating turbidity. This study aims to use design criteria that can be used Cimanggis Water Treatment Plant (WTP), so it produce fulfills the Drinking Quality Standard No. 492 Year 2010 by Health Minister Republic Indonesia. The WTP development refers existing ...

Flocculation achieved by raising the pH, termed alkaline flocculation is a sustainable way of inducing in marine microalgae. Flocs formed post-alkaline have potential to be harvested via dissolved air flotation (DAF) or sedimentation. While DAF results faster separation and biomass with higher solids content compared sedimentation, it has not been tested saline environments, particularly when c...
