Abstract:
The Fall 2017 Humic Acid team was motivated to study the impact of the humic acid particles in water. Throughout the Fall 2017 semester, the team plans to explore the existence of optimal coagulant dosage that gives the lowest effluent turbidity at various humic acid concentrations. Then, the team seeks to set up a mathematical model that calculates the optimal coagulant dosage vs. humic acid concentration. A series of controlled experiments will be conducted with a computer software.
