High Turbidity and Cod Removal in River Water Using Low Dosage Plant-Based Tacca Leontopetaloides Flocculant (Tbpf) Followed by Activated Carbon Treatment
Abstract:Pollution in river water affects human, plant and animal health and activities, and its removal using chemical coagulants is a huge concern. This study aims to reduce turbidity and COD pollutants in river water through coagulation-adsorption process by using Tacca leontopetaloides biopolymer flocculant (TBPF) and powder activated carbon (PAC). In coagulation experiment, TBPF dosages were varied to evaluate the effect on turbidity and COD removal in river water by using Bioblock flocculator followed by adsorpti… Show more
