Summary of Experiment: Experiments were done on 3 performed using three different coagulants to determine the . The percentage humic acid removal under varying was recorded for various pH and dose dosing conditions.
Conclusions: Generally, when pH is held constant (approximately 7.5), Humic Acid removal increases with increasing coagulant dosage. The correlation between coagulant dosage and acid removal is not linear, however. So, and there is a point where additional coagulant will not result in significant humic acid removal. This means that there is an optimum amount of coagulant that should be used for effective humic acid removal. The In these experiments, the maximum humic acid removal ranged from 80-90% in these experiments. When . Also, when coagulant dosage was held constant and pH is increased was varied from 3 to 10, humic acid removal decreasesdecreased. The change in humic acid removal observed was approximately 10%.
