Title: | Removal of water turbidity by natural coagulants obtained from chestnut and acorn | Authors: | Šćiban, Marina Klašnja, Mile Antov, Mirjana Škrbić, Biljana |
Issue Date: | Dec-2009 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Journal: | Bioresource Technology | Abstract: | The ability of seed extracts of several species of chestnut and acorn to act as natural coagulants was tested using a synthetic turbid water. Active components were extracted from ground seeds of Horse chestnut and acorns of some species of family Fagaceae: Common oak, Turkey oak, Northern red oak and European chestnut. All investigated extracts had coagulation capabilities and their amounts depended on pH values and initial turbidities. The seed extracts from European chestnut and Common oak acorn were the most efficient expressing the highest coagulation activities, about 80% and 70%, respectively, in both low and medium investigated water turbidities at the lowest coagulant dose 0.5 ml/L. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
