Mitigating Ammonia Pollution in Water - Can There Be Any Suitable Coagulant?
Published on by Dr Lokesh Kumar, Chartered Chemist, PhD, Chemist at Delhi Jal Board, Government of National Capital Territory Delhi, India in Technology
Dear Friends, I am working on a research plan to mitigate ammonia pollution in water with the help of a desert plant extract (Yucca). I have taken its stem and powdered. This powder reduces ammonia in water but the residue/ turbidity/ colloidal particles that it leaves in water do not get settled by any coagulant like Alum, PACl, FeCl3, Tanfloc and ZnSO4.
What should I use to coagulate the colloidal suspension in water? Meanwhile, I have also got a leachate sample collected from Delhi which also does not get coagulated by any mean. Please, advice / suggest some way.
Regards
