It is evaluated the efficiency of Vicia faba (i.e., bean) seed flour, in water turbidity removal at drinking water treatment plants. The evaluation of the bean´s coagulant potential was carried out through the use of extracted aqueous and saline crude extract of the pure and delipidified flour. The experimental design with three levels and three fa...
In La Paz Bolivia, the Choqueyapu River is part of one of the main water systems of the municipality of La Paz-Bolivia, being the main collector of domestic and industrial waste, without any previous treatment, which constitutes an important source of emerging pollutants, representing a potential risk to public health.
