Landfill leachate may cause environmental problems if it is not properly managed and treated. An appropriate treatment process of landfill leachate often involves a combination of physical, chemical and biological methods to obtain satisfactory results. In this study, coagulation-flocculation was proposed as a pretreatment stage of partially stabilized landfill leachate prior to submerged biolo...

The flocculation performance of three poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) samples (Mw = 9 10, 2.5 10 and 1 10 g/mol) has been investigated. Colloidal alumina particles were used as a model system and tests were performed at pH 5. Using a singlecomponent polyacid, it was found that the optimum dosage required to achieve supernatant clarity was similar between the 9 10 g/mol PAA (23 ppm) and 2.5 10 g/mol PA...

Mining activities are followed by mineral processing and wet beneficiation methods which generate a significant amount of tailings. Slime fractions discharged to the tailing ponds with associated process water this causes storage disposal difficulties creates severe environmental problems. Therefore, dewatering these tailings is necessary for both economic aspects. In study, flocculation behavi...
