Evaluation of the Efficiency of Bio-Polymers Derived from Desertic Plants as Flocculation Agents
In the treatment of wastewater, flocculation is one of the most used processes, which aims to eliminate colloidal particles cannot be removed by other methods; Traditionally it has been used aluminum or iron salts and synthetic polymer, which generate ...

A pH-based pedotransfer function for scaling saturated hydraulic conductivity reduction: improved estimation of hydraulic dynamics in HYDRUS [PDF]
Hydraulic conductivity is a key soil property governing agricultural production and is thus an important parameter in hydrologic modeling. The pH scaling factor for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) reduction in the HYDRUS model was reviewed and ...

Flocculated meltwater particles control Arctic land-sea fluxes of labile iron [PDF]
AbstractGlacial meltwater systems supply the Arctic coastal ocean with large volumes of sediment and potentially bioavailable forms of iron, nitrogen and carbon. The particulate fraction of this supply is significant but estuarine losses have been thought to limit the iron supply from land.

Acidified and ultrafiltered recovered coagulants from water treatment works sludge for removal of phosphorus from wastewater [PDF]
This study used a range of treated water treatment works sludge options for the removal of phosphorus (P) from primary wastewater. These options included the application of ultrafiltration for recovery of the coagulant from the sludge.

Iron flocculation stimulates biogas production in Microthrix parvicella-spiked wastewater sludge [PDF]
Municipal wastewater sludge has been used for fertiliser and biogas production for several decades. Chemical compounds such as iron and aluminium are common coagulants used in wastewater treatment plants to remove suspended solids, phosphorus and micro-organisms.

Tannins from cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) bark as a flocculant for water clarification
Concern about the overexploitation of natural resources has increased in recent decades, especially involving water and its treatment. Paradoxically, one of the sources of water pollution is the treatment itself, due to the use of chemical flocculants ...

The Impact of Capsid Proteins on Virus Removal and Inactivation During Water Treatment Processes [PDF]
This study examined the effect of the amino acid composition of protein capsids on virus inactivation using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and titanium dioxide photocatalysis, and physical removal via enhanced coagulation using ferric chloride.

Coagulant recovery and reuse for drinking water treatment [PDF]
Coagulant recovery and reuse from waterworks sludge has the potential to significantly reduce waste disposal and chemicals usage for water treatment. Drinking water regulations demand purification of recovered coagulant before they can be safely reused ...
