Abstract

In this study, the efficiency of coagulation process for removal of perchlorate at high concentrations from aqueous solution was investigated. The effect of various parameters such as coagulant dosage, solution pH and initial perchlorate concentration on process efficiency was also studied. Moreover, the effect of both chitosan and psyllium plantago as natural coagulant aids in coagulation process for removing perchlorate was studied. The results showed that ferric chloride was better in perchlorate removal than that of aluminum sulfate. Moreover, the use of chitosan and plantago as coagulant aids led to an increase in removal efficiency of perchlorate in coagulation process (78 and 77.5 %, respectively). Thus, the results indicated that the coagulation process can be used as an effective approach in perchlorate removal at high concentrations. Moreover, the use of both chitosan and plantago as coagulant aids led to an increase in removal efficiency of perchlorate by coagulation process. Therefore, these compounds can also be used as natural adsorbents in removal of perchlorate.
