Title : Exploring the effectiveness and variables of innovative physicochemical methods for wastewater treatment: Focus on coagulation/flocculation
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of experimental physicochemical treatment methods (particularly coagulation/flocculation) in the treatment of wastewaters from various chemical analyses laboratory. The focus is on studying and evaluating key parameters related to this treatment process, including the duration and intensity of agitation, settling time, the amount of coagulant (lime CaO), the effect of pH and the amount of flocculant (cactus). To evaluate the effectiveness of the physicochemical treatment, an extensive analysis was performed focusing on the above parameters and their interaction in the system. We performed various experiments, systematically varying the values of these parameters, and carefully measured the results obtained. The results of this study demonstrate the significant effectiveness of coagulation/flocculation technology in treating wastewater samples. By carefully controlling the parameters, we found that certain combinations produced better results in terms of wastewater treatment efficiency. The effects of coagulant dosage, pH adjustment, and flocculant dosage were analyzed, providing valuable insights into their individual and collective effects on the entire treatment process.
