Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1987 N2 - This study aimed to evaluate the flocculation and sedimentation performances in treating chromium wastewater by a few regionally available reagents-Kaolinite Clay (mesh no. 275, 380 and 500), Bentonite, Diatomite, and Alum. The experiment started at finding the dosage requirements and detentio~ time required in a suitable pH range for the reduction of hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium by Ferrous Sulfate and Sodium Metabisulfite. Varying amounts of flocculants (200, 300 and 400 mq z L) were used in Jar Tests to find the optimum dosage. The results from the Jar Test were applied to Scale Plant to check the flocculation capability during a continuous flow. a Pilot It was found that Clay can be used to' flocculate the precipitates of metal hydroxides in a more concentrated sludge form.
