Abstract
In laboratory experiments, the elimination of bacteria and viruses in treated sewage by different flocculants varied between 47.9 and 99.5%. Ferric and aluminum chloride reduced both groups of microorganisms to a greater extent than polyelectrolytes; cationic polymers were better than nonionic and anionic types. Combination of an inorganic flocculant with a polyelectrolyte did not increase the microbial elimination.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
