The main objective of the present paper is to discuss the convenience of using chitosan as a
non-hazardous substance to improve the coagulation–flocculation (CF) efficiencies in …

The protein-rich liquid resulting from the deproteinization step of the chitin/chitosan
production process is proposed as a novel wastewater bio-coagulant. The raw material for …

In this study, cationic cellulose (CC) was prepared by etherifying commercial cellulose with
(3-chloro-2 hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) in an alkaline medium …

Coagulation with synthetic chemicals has been used to treat a wide range of industrial
effluents. Herein, the unique characteristics of industrial effluents being detrimental to the …

The escalating concern over microplastic pollution in surface water has led to the
exploration of effective removal methods, including coagulation and flocculation (CF). This …

Dairy operations generate large volumes of polluted wastewater that require treatment prior
to discharge. Chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) is a widely utilized wastewater …

Acid whey, a dairy byproduct with low pH and high organic content, presents disposal
challenges but also potential for resource recovery. In this study, chitosan gel was …
