Recent Advancement of Coagulation–Flocculation and Its Application in Wastewater Treatment

TL;DR: In this article, a critical review on recent studies of coagulation-flocculation treatment processes of various industrial wastewaters is presented, where the limitations and challenges for the coagulated-fluctuation process such as toxicity and health hazard posed by inorganic coagulants, production of large amount of toxic sludge, ineffectiveness in removing heavy metals and emerging contaminants, increase in effluent color, inefficient pollutant removal using natural coagULants, and complexity of scaling up procedure are presented.

Hexavalent chromium removal from aqueous medium by activated carbon prepared from peanut shell: Adsorption kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pH, contact time, initial concentration of adsorbate and temperature on adsorption of activated carbon were investigated, and the results showed that both Langmuir and Freundlich models fitted the data reasonably but the Langmuirusorption isotherm model fitted better in the temperature range studied.

Constructed wetlands for treatment of industrial wastewaters: A review

TL;DR: In this article, constructed wetlands have been used for wastewater treatment for more than fifty years and most applications have been designed to treat municipal or domestic wastewater but at present, constructed wetlands are successfully applied to many types of wastewater.

Coagulation by hydrolysing metal salts

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed understanding of the sweep flocculation mechanism is provided, especially with regard to the role of charge neutralization and hydroxide precipitation. But the results can be reasonably well explained in terms of established ideas, and there are also some uncertainties regarding the action of pre-hydrolysed coagulants.

Landfill leachates pretreatment by coagulation-flocculation

TL;DR: In this paper, the most effective coagulant between ferric chloride and aluminium sulphate, optimal pH and most effective flocculant between anionic, cationic and nonionic polymers were examined in order to reduce the landfill leachates high fouling power, coagulation-flocculation is examined as reverse osmosis pretreatment.
