Coagulation

In the present study, the possibility to reuse the indigo dyeing rinsing wastewater originating from a denim textile mill was investigated. Coagulation and filtration processes were selected as the pretreatment alternatives and applied to dyeing wastewater samples. Both physicochemical pretreatment

A large-scale ultrafiltration (UF) system integrated with coagulation was applied to produce drinking water from the highly turbid Taihu River. This UF installation could produce 10,000 m3 drinking water per day. In this study, the effect of FeCl3 coagulant on the performance of the UF system was ev

The process of coagulation is a fundamental environmental protection technology, which is mainly used in the treatment of water and wastewater. The relevant research is currently focused on the development of new improved coagulation reagents. A characteristic example is polyferric silicate sulphate

Three different water treatment ultrafiltration (UF) pilot plants were investigated to treat algae-rich reservoir water. Coagulation, coagulation–sedimentation and coagulation–sedimentation–filtration were applied prior to UF respectively. Based on the permeate water quality and the specific flux of

Water shortage has become a global issue and not only a problem relevant to arid zones. In the past decade desalination of sea and brackish water has been found to be a technically and economically acceptable solution for water shortage. More recently, desalination of wastewater effluents has also b

To reuse pretreated water effluent of the El-Nile Company for the food industry in Egypt, NF and RO membrane separation techniques were investigated. Two sets of experiments were carried out by using laboratory separation unit with maximum pressure of 7 bars and pilot plant membrane separation unit

Humic substances mainly humic acids constitute the major fraction of natural organic matter in water supplies. Humics express diverse actions primarily related to the formation of potentially harmful disinfection by products (DBPs). Therefore, the removal of DBP precursors through numerous treatment

The use of potassium ferrate(VI) as an alternative water remediation chemical has been studied and is reported in this paper. The water remediation performance of potassium ferrate(VI) was evaluated in comparison with sodium hypochlorite, ferric sulphate (FS) and aluminium sulphate (AS). The effects

In this study, aluminium sulphate (alum) and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulation were used for coagulation of different origin water (Buyukcekmece, BC and Omerli, OM in Istanbul, Turkey and Carmine, CR in Salerno, Italy) treatment. The effect of pre-ozonation alone and combined with coagulation

A combination of coagulation and ultrafiltration (UF) processes for textile wastewater reclamation was investigated using various types of coagulating chemicals such as polyamine, alum, polyaluminum chloride (PACl), and ferric salts. The potential of the combined system was evaluated to replace the
