Potential of razor clam (Ambal) as coagulant in water treatment process

The objective of this research was to determine the feasibility of using chitosan that was extracted from razor clam (ambal) crustacean shells as a natural coagulant to remove the turbidity in water treatment process . This chitosan coagulant was studied in order to s...
