Chitosan, Metal Salt, and Polyacrylamide Jar Tests at the Gloucester Water Pollution Control Facility.

摘要

The report grew out of a proposal submitted to MIT Sea Grant by Professor Donald Harleman and Susan Murcott of Parsons Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to conduct a series of jar tests to determine the efficacy of chitosan as a coagulant in wastewater treatment and to compare chitosan with metal salts in improving primary effluent quality. The testing took place at the Gloucester Water Pollution Control Facility. The report consists of 2 sections: A review of the basic plant data for the Gloucester primary treatment plant and a performance analysis of that facility; and Jar test results for 2 testing periods.
