Leachate management by natural coagulant
Keywords:
Leachates, organismsAbstract
Leachate will be treated by using coagulation-flocculation. Coagulation and flocculation are essential
processes in a number of diverse disciplines, including biochemistry, cheese manufacturing, rubber manufacturing, and
in water and waste water treatment. It is effective for removing high concentration organic pollutant and heavy metals in
wastewater. However, coagulation-flocculation examined the effectiveness of alum, ferric chloride and polyaluminum
chloride (PAC1) as well as the use of synthetic polymers on the removal of suspended solid (SS), color, COD and
ammoniacal nitrogen (NH 3 N) from leachate. The coagulant dosage has typically been determined through jar test,
which requires a long experiment time in a field water treatment plant.
