Synthetic wastewater de-fluoridation using chemical coagulants
Goh, Zhen Jie1, Chong, Chien Hwa2, Rajesh Nithyanandam3, Lim, Winston4.
The objective of this research is to reduce fluoride concentration to a maximum
target of 5.0 ppm (standard B). The scopes of this research include the effect of
different coagulant dosages, coagulant types and pH effects. Poly-aluminium
chloride (PAC) and mixture of sodium aluminate (SA) with sodium hydroxide
(NaOH) were used as chemical coagulants. Samples of synthetic fluoride with
concentration of 100 ppm were used in this research. It was found that increasing
coagulant dosage enhances the de-fluoridation performance. 85.9 % of defluoridation
efficiency was achieved using a 3.0 g/L of PAC with mixture of SA
with NaOH at optimum pH of 7. Statistical analysis using ANOVA one-way test
showed that the p value is 5.53×10-12 (p < 0.05), which concluded the chemical
coagulant dosage provides significant effect on de-fluoridation performance.
