Low-pressure UV-initiated synthesis of cationic starch-based flocculant with high flocculation performance

Yuyang Wu et al.

Summary: A starch-based flocculant was synthesized using low-pressure ultraviolet initiation, which effectively removed humic acid from water across a wide pH range. The mechanism of flocculation was found to involve charge neutralization, adsorption, bridging, and patching between functional groups of the St-g-PDMC-LPUV flocculant and HA.

Comparison of two starch-based flocculants with polyacrylamide for the simultaneous removal of phosphorus and turbidity from simulated and actual wastewater samples in combination with FeCl3

Pan Hu et al.

Summary: Two laboratory-made cationic starch-based flocculants, with different chain architectures, showed promising results in simultaneously removing phosphorus and turbidity from wastewater treatment, due to their synergistic effects. Different structural features of the flocculants led to varying efficiencies and mechanisms in treating wastewaters with different forms of phosphorus, with certain flocculants showing more notable contributions in specific wastewater types.
