Abstract
The attempt to remove viruses from drinking water by coagulation and flocculation is a relatively recent undertaking. Past efforts produced results that ranged from poor to excellent. The authors of this article evaluate a different coagulant and reach the conclusion that it is as effective as some others tested in the past—at least when there is little or no organic matter in the raw water. They also point out some of the considerations that any user of the process must consider to make it viable. The authors have attempted to discover the extent to which viruses are removed from raw water through coagulation and flocculation.Keywords
