Abstract:The widespread usage of nano-copper oxide particles (nano-CuO) in several industrial products and applications raises concerns about their release into water bodies. Thus, their elimination from drinking water is essential to reduce the risk to human health. This work investigated the removal of nano-CuO from pure water and montmorillonite clay (MC) suspensions using poly aluminum ferric chloride (PAFC) as well as cationic polyacrylamide (PAM) by the coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation (C/F/S) process.

“…According to the author, this study successfully addressed a local problem of wastewater pollution from garment and textile industrial effluents using the locally available agro-waste of Dalbergia sisoo . Khan et al [ 10 ] investigated the removal of nano-CuO from pure water and montmorillonite clay (MC) suspensions, using poly aluminum ferric chloride (PAFC) and cationic polyacrylamide (PAM) via the coagulation–flocculation–sedimentation (C/F/S) process. Moreover, PAFC and PAFC/PAM flocculation performance was investigated through a parametric analysis.…”
