Evaluation of the efficiency of bio-polymers derived from desertic plants as flocculation agents
In the treatment of wastewater, flocculation is one of the most used processes, which aims to eliminate colloidal particles cannot be removed by other methods; Traditionally it has been used aluminum or iron salts and synthetic polymer, which generate little biodegradable sludge; moreover biopolym...

| Summary: | In the treatment of wastewater, flocculation is one of the most used processes, which aims to eliminate
colloidal particles cannot be removed by other methods; Traditionally it has been used aluminum or iron salts
and synthetic polymer, which generate little biodegradable sludge; moreover biopolymers, have coagulation
and flocculation properties which can remove over 80-90% of solids contaminated; additionally, the use of
natural polymers produce sludge increased biodegradability.
The present work analyzes the efficiency of a biopolimer based on 6 endemic plants (Opuntia dilleni,
Stenocereus griseus, Cereus forbesii, Melocactus sp. Aloe arborescens and Aloe vera) found at the desertic
indian reservation “Kululumana”.
