Abstract
Textile and tannery wastewaters contain highly toxic and organic biorefractory compounds and have adverse effects on human health. Jar-test experiments are conducted in order to assess the efficiency of coagulants salts on the treatment of these industrial wastewaters. For this purpose iron chloride (FeCl 3 ), and aluminum sulfate (Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ) have been used. The results indicate that iron chloride achieves more than 93% of tannery wastewater turbidity removal and produces two times less sludge than alum; while alum allows 95% of textile wastewater turbidity removal and produces less volume of decanted sludge than iron chloride. Alum can be recommended on the removal of turbidity from textile wastewater. However, for an efficient turbidity removal from tannery wastewater, iron chloride is suitable.
