Experimental Study of Bio-Coagulant and Chemical Coagulant for Wastewater Treatment

Rohini Shanmugapriya. M, Nagamani . S, Dhanalakshmi . A

Abstract


Wastewater from oil industries without pretreatment when let out has the possibility of causing serious environmental problems. Extensive treatment methods are available but for small scale industries efficient and cost-effective methods are needed to be implemented. Chemical coagulant is expensive for treatment, so natural coagulant is developed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional chemical coagulants. Natural coagulation has an advantage over the chemical treatment, because they are safe and ecofriendly. In this project the efficiency of moringa olifera, banana stem juice and alum in treating oil industry wastewater has been studied. The important parameter those are responsible for the treatment have been optimized. The important parameters considered in the study are the pH, Hardness, Total Solids, alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand.
