The potential of wheat germs as a coagulant to treat batik wastewater / Nurhaslina C.R, Ku Halim Ku Hamid and Siti Zuraida Mohamad

The purpose of this study is to identify the potential of wheat germs as a coagulant to treat batik wastewater. Dyestuffs present in textile industry wastewater are hardly to degrade by biological means and many synthetic dyes are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. Dye can be removed from wastewater...
