Coagulants can be extracted from vegetal material and applied in the treatment of wastewater. These coagulants are derived seeds, leaves, bark, roots fruits. This study focuses on use mucilaginous extract Stenocereus griseus (known as Cardón Guajiro) for removal biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical (COD), total solids, turbidity color domestic wastewater a pumping station city Cartagena (...

The widespread use of reagent coagulation in the technology purification natural and waste waters is due to complexity chemical composition phase-dispersed state aqua systems these waters, on one hand, multifactorial action coagulants them, other. mechanisms interaction between pollutants wastewater which are different states include physicochemical phenomena coagulation, heterocoagulation, ada...

<p>Industrial wastewater has become a great concern due to high concentrations of several hazardous contaminants, particularly heavy metals. Heavy metal contamination and its consequences for human health the environment have gained interest in developing low-cost, long-term cleanup technologies. Biologically based treatment approaches being more effective than conventional methods are ge...

This paper presents the results of an investigation that aimed to evaluate the efficiency of various inorganic coagulants and organic polymers to combat filamentous foaming and bulking problems, caused by the proliferation of M. parvicella and/or Gordona amarae. The duration of the investigation covered 14 months. During this period foam samples were taken from the aeration basins of two full-s...

the purpose of this study was comparison of applicability of tertiary treatment of tehran domestic sewage with organic and inorganic coagulants or a combination of them. the far test procedure was applied utilizing: alum, polyelectrolyte wt 2600, anionic polyelectorlyte wt 3000, and nonionic polyelctrolyte wt 2690 as organic coagulants (products of calgon). the combination of lime with each of ...

Published researches about the pretreatment of exit wastewater from desalination units are rare. Nowadays, lake of potable water, development of industries and population growth, extend desalination units. Although desalination units have been grown up, but exit brine stream is usually drained into the sea ecosystem [1-4]. Moreover, annually a large quantity of concentrated brine is discharged ...

24 Aluminum coagulants are widely used in water treatment plants to remove turbidity and 25 dissolved substances. However, because high aluminum concentrations in treated water are 26 associated with increased turbidity and because aluminum exerts undeniable human health 27 effects, its concentration should be controlled in water treatment plants, especially in plants 28 that use aluminum coagu...
