The interference of synthetic dye in the water bodies and environment poses a risk to both human and environmental health. Due to the recalcitrant nature of dye and presence of many other pollutants in industrial wastewater, efficient method of treatment of industrial effluent is required to address the lingering problem over the years. To address this major concern, experimental was carried out on synthetic dye and flour wastewater treatment by coagulation-flocculation while varying operating parameters (dosage, concentration, coagulant type etc.). The effectiveness of coagulation-flocculation process for the removal of Naphthol Green B in a mixture of dye wastewater and flour wastewater at different concentrations (50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm, 200 ppm) was investigated. Using 3 coagulant (FeCl3, FeSO4 and Al2(SO4)3), color removal efficiency was also investigated. The effectiveness of the coagulation process was measured for transmittance and absorbance as indices using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Also, the total organic carbon (TOC) was measured. Transmittance and absorbance values of 99.6% and 0.001 respectively were achieved post treatment. Ferric Chloride and Aluminum Sulfate gave better results than Ferrous Sulfate which gave the poorest transmittance and absorbance values indicating reduced color removal efficiency. The results of this study revealed that coagulation process is an efficient preliminary treatment for appreciable suspended particles and color removal from dye wastewater. It also showed the impact of coagulant dosage, dye strength and combined wastewater samples on the removal efficiency and resulting effluent quality.

A response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the determination of optimum coagulation process conditions for disperse navy blue dye wastewater treatment. The experimental design was Box-Behnken design (BBD) with three operational variables: coagulant dosage, pH value and settling time. The influence of these three independent variables on the chroma removal was evaluated using a second-order polynomial multiple regression model. Quadratic model was predicted for the response variable and the maximum model-predicted chroma removal efficiency was 95%. Based on surface and contour plots, the optimum conditions were obtained to be coagulant dosage of 70.98 mg/L, pH value of 7.46, and settling time of 15.80 min with the actual chroma removal efficiency as 93%.

Focusing on the improvement of removal efficiency of humic substances by coagulation, coagulation-flocculation processes were applied not only once but more than twice to the water being treated, and the effect of repeated coagulation was evaluated in jar-tests. With more than the critical dosage of PACl (15 mg/l), approximately 30% of color removal was attained in typical one-pass treatment, whilst maximum 65% removal was achieved by repeating the coagulation twice. Repeating coagulation enhances the coagulation process to achieve higher color removal efficiency, and can reduce the coagulant dosage.

Polyamidine (PA) is a novel high cation coagulant aid for water treatment. In the present study the structure, coagulation ability and floc characteristics (including coagulation kinetics, floc dimension, floc strength and floc recover ability) were discussed. As a dual-coagulation, polyamidine was combined with AlCl3and PAC to remove dispersed yellow from wastewater. The results showed that the polyamidine exhibited higher intrinsic viscosity and higher charge neutralization ability than cationic polyacrylamide (PAM). Atomic force microscopic (AFM) and transmission electronic microscopic (TEM) images showed a dendritic, stretched structure of PA. The dosage of PAC/PA and AlCl3/PA and pH were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum condition, the color removal efficiency reached 96% as the concentration of 14/0.2 mg/L for AlCl3/PA (PA was combined with AlCl3) at pH 6. Meanwhile, the highest decoloring efficiency (97%) was achieved in the process when PAC/PA (PA was combined with PAC) dosage was 18/0.6 mg/L at pH 6.0-8.0. The addition of polyamidine could improve the color removal efficiency, including increasing the zeta potential evidently and reducing the aluminum coagulants dosage as well. Compared with AlCl3/PA, PAC/PA which contained higher polymeric aluminum, exhibited a better coagulation ability to adapt a wide range of pH. However, when PAC/PA and AlCl3/PA expressed the same removal efficiency, AlCl3/PA showed a less coagulant dosage in raw dye wastewater pH. With PA dosages increased, the floc of AlCl3/PA showed a gradually adding strength and recovery ability, but in PAC/PA system the tendency was unclear. In PAC/PA system, PA dosage increase only improved floc density.

Five novel coagulants, DC-491, Fennofix K97, BWD-01, MD-03 and MD-04 were chosen to treat reactive brilliant red X-3B simulated wastewater by jar tests. The results showed that the decolorization efficiencies were all higher than 75% at initial pH 8.2 and temperature 20 after 20 minutes of reaction. Then, two typical coagulants, BWD-01 and MD-04 which had better performance were chosen to study the effect of dye removal of X-3B at different operating parameters, including coagulant dosage, pH, sedimentaion time and reaction temperature of simulated wastewater. Decolorization efficiency of MD-04 for X-3B solution was higher than 80% in pH range from 3 to 9, while for BWD-01, efficiency increased from 37.3% to 82.3% in this pH range. For both BWD-01 and MD-04, the color removal efficiency increased as the solution temperature increased and the maximum efficiency was over 94% at 40. Small changes in the color removal efficiency were observed after 1 hour sedimentation for both coagulants.

This study focused on testing the efficacy of iron (Fe) electrode in an electrochemical treatment (electrocoagulation) of wastewater containing a mixture of organic dyes. The mixture consists of the following azo dyes: Acid Black 194, Acid Black 107 and Acid Yellow 116. The present organic dyes are toxic, cause skin and eye irritation and are extremely dangerous to aquatic organisms. The study was conducted on a synthetic wastewater prepared in a laboratory electrochemical reactor. During the research, the impact of the current density, various concentrations of dye and supporting electrolyte, electrolysis duration and <em>pulsed current regime </em><em>were tracked</em>. The results are shown through color removal efficiency, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, current efficiency, and specific energy consumption. At the initial concentration of dye (γ=200 mg/L) and concentration of supporting electrolyte (γ<sub>NaCl</sub>=1 g/L) the color removal efficiency of 80.64% was achieved for 420 seconds of treatment (ј=10 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>). At the initial concentration of dye (γ=50 mg/L) and γ<sub>NaCl</sub>= 8 g/L, the color removal efficiency of 96.01% was attained for 300 seconds of treatment (ј=10 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>)

Alum, MgCl2, and mixtures of alum and MgCl2 have been used as coagulant to remove coloring matter in the reactive dye Levafix Brill Blue EBRA. The jar test was used to determine the effectiveness and the optimal condition of the coagulation process in terms of pH of the coagulation process, coagulant dosage, percentage color removal, and floc settling time. Coagulant dosages of 1,000-5,000 ppm were studied. The treatment of textile industry wastewater was done in the treatment plant of a printing mill. The results showed that coagulation by MgCl2 and alum occurs at the removal pH ranges of 10.5-11.0 for MgCl2 and 4.0-6.0 for alum. The mixtures of MgCl2 and alum gave two distinct effective color-removal zones at pH 4-5.5 and pH 8-9.5. The addition of alum to MgCl2 shifted the optimal pH of MgCl2 from 10.5-11. 0 to 8. 0-9.5. The alum dose of 1,000-3,000 ppm in the coagulant mixture increased by 10-25 % the color removal in the alkaline zone. Floc settling time was found to (a) increase with coagulant dose and (b) take longer in the acidic color-removal zone than in the alkaline zone. The presence of alum increased the floc settling time in the alkaline zone. The study done at the treatment plant of a printing mill showed similar results. A mixture of 60% MgClz and 40% alum at an average dosage of 2,800 ppm gave a color removal of 97% and reductions of 88% for COD and 69% for suspended solids. Keywords: Chemical coagulation, color reduction, mixed coagulants, and textile waste.

Abstract Hydroxypropyl guar gum is considered to be a main component of oilfield fracturing wastewater (OFW). This work is intended to optimize the experimental conditions for the maximum oxidative degradation of hydroxypropyl guar gum by the coagulation and UV/H2O2/ferrioxalate complexes process. Optimal reaction conditions were proposed based on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency and UV_vis spectra analysis. The overall removal efficiency of COD reached 83.8% for a dilution ratio of raw wastewater of 1:2, pH of 4 and FeCl3 loading of 1,000 mg/L in the coagulation process; the dosage of H2O2 (30%,v/v) was 0.6% (v/v) and added in three steps, the n(H2O2)/n(Fe2+) was 2:1, n(Fe2+)/n(C2O42−) was 3:1 and pH was 4 in the UV/H2O2/ferrioxalate complexes process; pH was adjusted to 8.5–9 by NaOH and then cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) of 2 mg/L was added in the neutralization and flocculation process. The decrease in COD during the coagulation process reduced the required H2O2 dosage and improved efficiency in the subsequent UV/H2O2/ferrioxalate complexes process. Furthermore, COD removal efficiency significantly increased by more than 13.4% with the introduction of oxalate compared with UV/Fenton. The UV_vis spectra analysis results indicated that the coagulation and UV/H2O2/ferrioxalate complexes process could efficiently remove the hydroxypropyl guar gum dissolved in OFW. An optimal combination of these parameters produced treated wastewater that met the GB8978-1996 Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard level III emission standard.

Refining of solar grade silicon by metallurgical method is the research hotspot of polycrystalline field. Slagging method is benefit to the removal of the impurities especially to boron exsisted in the raw silicon. In this study, the influence of the density, the viscosity and liquidus temperature of the slag components on the refining process were discussed, and then the slag system SiO2-Na2CO3 was choosed as the slagging agents. And then the impact factors on the removal efficiency of boron such as the composition of SiO2 and Na2CO3, the ratio of slag to silicon and the refining time were investigated by the orthogonal experiment. The results showed that the optimum parameters of the oxidation refining for removing boron were as follows: the main composition of the oxidant is “SiO2 : Na2CO3 = 60% : 40%”; the slag/silicon ratio is 0.5; time for refining is 60min at 1550 . The results indicated that the removal efficiency of boron was 88.28%, and the content of boron in MG-Si can be reduced to 7ppmw under the best refining process¬.
