Using of Alternative Green Coagulant in the Treatment of Water Resources Different Micro-pollutants

Abstract

Many studies approved the unique properties of potassium ferrate as coagulant, disinfectant and oxidant at the same time. This paper represents an attempt to use this properties to remove ammonia from water resources using single dose of ferrate and hence save energy of chlorine and alum dosing.potassium ferrate prove itself as a possible replacement of conventional chemicals by improving water quality; potassium ferrate by 30ppm dose achieve removal of ammonia, turbidity and total coliform by 92.2%, 82.1% and 99.99% respectively which is higher than using both alum and chlorine with doses 40 and 80ppm.
