Microalgae have been considered as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production, since its cultivation uses less land than other traditional oil crops and has higher growth rate. A great challenge is choice of an effective approach microalgae biomass recovery lipid extraction, the scheduling these practices are critical require economical environment friendly route. Flocculation evolved effic...

effect of concentration parameters on recovery of zinc oxidized minerals from lead flotation tailings of dandy mineral processing plant in north-western iran was studied. a sulfidization-flotation method has been used on a laboratory scale to investigate the effect of various reagents such as sodium sulfide as sulfidizing agent, primary amine as collector, dispersants and flocculants with diffe...

BACKGROUND Bioflocculants effect the aggregation of suspended solutes in solutions thus, a viable alternative to inorganic poly-ionic and synthetic organic flocculants which are associated with deleterious health problems. Consequently, a consortium of two bacteria species were evaluated for optimized bioflocculant yield following the inadequacies of axenic cultures. RESULTS 16S rDNA nucleoti...

Hematite fines were found to form aggregates with magnetite ~des in the same slurry, without the help of any flocculants. Because of this aggregation. fine iron ores containing hematite and -anetile can be successfully concentrated by multi-stage deslimings. ~ that the ore is finely ground and silicate gangues properly ~rsed. The effectiveness of this technique has been tested on a UMIIIIIercia...

A kind of environmental friendly novel composite flocculants which are used to treat raw water is prepared. It is made with chitosan (CS), iron modified polyaluminium chloride (CF-PAC) and modified montmorillonite on the principle of “the combination of organic and inorganic”. Under the optimum best compound formula and flocculation process, the turbidity of the waste water reduced by 0.62%, th...

The toxicity of residues formed during water treatment is mainly a function of the chemicals used. The inorganic flocculants, when used, give rise to compounds harmful to humans and to the environment. An alternative solution is the use of tannins. However, despite the environmental benefits, when using tannin-based products in the treatment of industrial water, modifications may be imparted to...

One of the major sources, which wastes the environment is the wastewater produced from the human activity. At present, in order to decrease waste hazards and to restrict the resulted effects on the environment, investigators studying the possibility of using new methods and materials to treat wastewater. Coagulation and flocculation process are physical-chemical methods that widely used in the ...
