Improvement of alum & PACL coagulants for the treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater

The wastewater arising from pulp and paper mills is highly polluted and has to be treated before discharged into rivers.Coagulation –flocculation process is a widely used water and wastewater treatment method.This method is used in pulp and paper mills to remove the suspended solids in the wastewate...
