Green approach to treat institutional wastewater by using cassava peels starch (CPS) as coagulant aid

The quality of water is superior for the stability of the ecosystem. Institutional wastewater contains pollutants and exceed the level of contaminants beyond standards. Applications of natural coagulants are widely in practice due to abundant source, low price, environment-friendly and rapid biodegr...
