COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL & NON - CONVENTIONAL COAGULANTS AND FLOCCULANTS FOR PRIMARY & SECONDARY TREATMENT OF EFFLUENT FROM VARIOUS INDUSTRIES

The prevailing most widely used method for coagulation and flocculation are dosages of Alum, copperas, lime, ferric chlorides, but the contaminants removal efficiency from above given Methods are not cost effective. Therefore, the present study focuses on use of different coagulants and flocculants such as conventional and non - conventional to reduce the contaminants from the wastewater. Various parameters (includes pH, COD, TDS, TSS) are to be studied before and after treatment with conventional and non - con ventional coagulants respectively and to find out the effect of these coagulants on various effluents. These coagulants are compared with each other and may results in higher removal efficiency of contaminants.
