Treatment of palm oil mill effluent via chitosan based on flocculation : a study of different concentration of solid and liquid chitosan

Chitosan is a natural cationic biopolymer was used as a coagulant in treatment of residual oil and suspended solids in palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME is one of the major oily wastewater in Malaysia. Like other industries, palm oil processing industries also generate large quantities of effluent...
