Abstract

ABSTRACT: The wastewater treatment is being given more importance nowadays, especially those which are not from the biological processes. If the polymers used for flocculation purpose are so that they do not cause harm to the water bodies and are environment friendly then they are being given more importance. We propose here a very simple flocculant which is prepared by blending of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polyacrylic acid (PAA). The proposed polymer has been successfully tried upon the iron ores flocculation tests.
