This study explored the application of whole and defatted Moringa oleifera seed-derived coagulants in powder (P-MOS DP-MOS), aqueous extraction (AEP-MOS AEDP-MOS), saline (SEP-MOS SEDP-MOS) treatment a synthetic turbid water by coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation jar test apparatus. The performance M. was quantified compared with alum terms ability to neutralize restabilize suspension char...

This study develops a sedimentation process model that simulate the effects of inflow water quality, treatment flow rate and outflow water quality. The model uses transfer function ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Moving Average) for reflecting the dynamic characteristics of the system The sedimentation model for outflow water turbidity are separated into low and high turbidity by input variables, turbid...

1. Comparative research and generalisations in lotic ecology are challenged by the dynamic hydrology of fluvial systems. The aim of this study was to understand more fully how factors such as light, nutrients and flow can predict variation in autochthonous production and algal biomass. 2. We measured seasonal changes in percent bankfull discharge, inorganic nutrient concentrations, turbidity, i...

Primary productivity, Secchi disc visibility, chlorophyll, and nutrient concentrations were studied in Wagon Train and Stagecoach reservoirs during the years 1969 and 1970. The reservoirs are separated by a distance of only 12 km and are similar in nutrient content and circulation pattern. Furthermore, in both reservoirs 92-100% of the productivity occurs in the upper two meiers. However, the r...

Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum Schum) is an Amazonian Basin native fruit whose fruit pulp is consumed as a juice which presents high density, viscosity, and turbidity. Pectic enzymes, usually yielded by microorganisms, are used to reduce the juice viscosity and turbidity. The present study aims to evaluate the use of pectic enzymes when processing cupuaçu juice. The cupuaçu juice was obtained ...

enhanced coagulation (ec) is defined as the addition of excess coagulation to improve the removal of disinfection by-product (dbps) precursors through the use of conventional water treatment processes. in this research, most of coagulants of ferric chloride (fecl3), poly aluminum chloride(pacl) in removal of most parameters of total organic carbon (toc), dissolved organic carbon (doc), organic ...
