Abstract

The production of cleaning supplies, however, results in the generation of large quantities of polluted wastewater commonly contaminated with surfactants such as lauryl sodium sulphate (LAS). There is an actual need to seek factors intensifying the treatment processes of the wastewaters from industry cleaning supplies. The new methods which not required extension of existing plants or building very expensive reactors are still searching. In recent years much more attention has been directed to the possibility of improvement of waste water treatment by static magnetic field as auxiliary. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of constant magnetic field as well as the integration of this technique with the famous technique used for wastewater treatment which is coagulation by clorate aluminium as a novel method for treatment. This new method has been found to be a useful method for removing turbidity, total solids (TS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from chemically treated wastewater.
