Evaluation of the Efficiency of Bio-Polymers Derived from Desertic Plants as Flocculation Agents

In the treatment of wastewater, flocculation is one of the most used processes, which aims to eliminate colloidal particles cannot be removed by other methods; Traditionally it has been used aluminum or iron salts and synthetic polymer, which generate little biodegradable sludge; moreover biopolymer...
