Polyaluminum coagulant with a content of 76.8% of Al30 (PACAl30) was prepared. Its coagulation behaviors were compared with high Al13 content polyaluminum coagulant (PACAl13) and AlCl3. The species stability was studied using Al-Ferron method and 27Al NMR. The coagulation performances were investigated by studying the rate of flocs development, the turbidity removal efficiency and charge neutralization capacity under fixed pH conditions and uncontrolled pH conditions. The effect of pH on coagulation was also studied. The results show that PACAl30 are stable for using as coagulant. PACAl30 causes less pH depression than PACAl13. The charge neutralization capacity of PACAl30 is slightly lower than that of PACAl13 at pH6.8 and higher at pH 6.5. PACAl30 achieves the most effective turbidity removal in these three coagulants. And it acts effectively within a much broader dosage range and a wider pH range when compared with PACAl13. PACAl30 achieves the highest turbidity removal due to its strong flocs formation capacity. The results verify that Al30 is another highly active coagulation/flocculation species for turbidity removal.

In this study, we utilized drinking water treatment sludge (WTS) to produce adsorbents through the drying and calcination process. These adsorbents were then evaluated for their ability to remove azithromycin (AZT) from aqueous solutions. The L-500 adsorbent, derived from the calcination (at 500°C) of WTS generated under conditions of low turbidity in the drinking water treatment plant, presented an increase in the specific surface area from 70.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is revolutionizing how we investigate biodiversity in aquatic and terrestrial environments. It is increasingly used for detecting rare and invasive species, assessing biodiversity loss and monitoring fish communities, as it is considered a cost-effective and noninvasive approach. Some environments, however, can be challenging for eDNA analyses.

A magnetic nano-composite coagulant has been designed, originally applied in a specific industrial waste-water treatment, and statistically investigated using Central Composite Design (CCD). The generated polynomial models were utilized to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the impact of each ingredient of PolyAluminum Chloride (PAC), PolyAcrylAmide (PAM), and Iron (III) oxide magnetic nano particles (MNP) regarding optimum limits and conditions. The concentration of each of those components has been considered as the main effective factors, which are found to be significantly correlated, affecting the Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) removal (%), the Total Suspended Solid (TSS) removal (%), and the Turbidity Reduction Rate (TRR) NTU/min.

In order to solve the shortcomings of a single flocculant, the inorganic-organic hybrid flocculant SiO-CTS-DMDACC was successfully prepared by grafting copolymerization of chitosan (CTS), dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (DMDACC), and silicon dioxide (SiO). The performance of SiO-CTS-DMDACC in treating papermaking wastewater was investigated, and the mechanism of the flocculation process was analyzed. The results showed that the crystallinity of chitosan was reduced due to the introduction of DMDACC and SiO.
