Development Of Natural Coagulant Aid From Artocarpus Heterophyllus Seeds Starch For Landfill Leachate Treatment

Coagulation-flocculation has been extensively used as landfill leachate treatment, prior to other methods. Al-based coagulant like polyaluminium chloride (PACl) is prominent in landfill leachate treatment, though the applications of PACl may introduce potentially toxic Al residuals into aquatic envi...
