A Study Of Landfill Leachate Treatment By Pacl, Sago Starch And Tapioca Starches, Hymenocallis Liriosme And Aloe Vera As Coagulants

The properties and mechanism of reaction of tapioca starch, sago starch, Hymenocallis liriosme and Aloe vera potential in landfill leachate treatment has not yet been fully discovered and examined. Thus this study aims to determine the optimum dosage of PACl, tapioca starch, sago starch, Hymenocall...
