Evaluation of the effectiveness of the coagulation process in the treatment of wastewater from the foundry industry

Abstract

The wastewater from the foundry industry contains both inorganic and organic pollutants. Their characteristic feature is the variability of the composition, which depends on the intensity of production in a given industrial plant or the combination of various pollutant streams. As part of the paper, the coagulation process was proposed for the treatment of selected wastewater from the foundry industry. The purpose of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of coagulation depending on the concentration of pollutants in wastewater.
