Background & Aims of the Study: In some situation like rainfall seasons raw water become very turbid so it affected the water treatment plant processes and quality of produced water. Treatment of very high turbid water has some concerns like precursors for disinfection by-products and very loading rate of particle on filter's media and consequently increases in water consumptio...

This research aims to examine the efficiency of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) remove a reactive red 195 dye and find optimal condition coagulate this dye. In present investigation, effect pH (3-9) PAC dosages (500-5,000 mg/L) were studied 1,000 mg/L using jar test. The results showed that variations influenced PAC. With increase dosage, 500- 1,500 5,000 highest percentage colour removal in acidi...

Polymerized inorganic coagulants are increasingly being used in the water supply and wastewater treatment process, yet there is limited research on the development of polytitanium coagulants. The aim of this study is to synthesize polytitanium chloride (PTC) coagulants and investigate their coagulation behavior and floc characteristics for humic acid removal in comparison to polyaluminum chlori...

Strains xn12 and xn17 were isolated from activated sludge from a local hoggery, and preliminarily identified as Gram-positive Bacillus and Streptomyces, respectively. Their flocculating activities were mainly in the extracellular materials, and their components were mainly non-ketose polysaccharides, not proteins. Their flocculating efficiencies were over 95 % under the optimal conditions for p...

Background & Aims of the Study: Coagulation is an essential process for the removal of fine particulate matter in water treatment. Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFC) is a composite inorganic polymer of Aluminium and ferric salt. This study was conducted to find out the optimum coagulation conditions for the removal of turbidity, color and organic matter (UV absorbance) in low to mediu...
