Development of peat base as coagulant agent for emulsified wastewater of canon industry / Nur Fazliana Abdul Rahman

Waste water generated in Canon industrial processes, contain organic compounds which are not easily amenable to chemical or biological treatment. The processing plants utilize a wide variety of coolants (polishing and penta coolant) and other chemicals such as surfactants, detergents, mineral oils,...
