Effect of coagulation and flocculation process - Yrwin F Azabache Liza

Coagulation and flocculation are the basis of water treatment, for the separation of solid-liquid mixtures, as well as a means to reduce turbidity, and in the present investigation, the effect of the applied speed and dose of aluminum sulfate Al2 (SO4)3, as well as that exerted by the ferric chloride FeCl3-flocculant, was evaluated. To obtain the experimental data, a \Jar Test\ equipment was used, carrying out tests at 06 levels of applied dose (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mL), and at 05 levels of agitation..
