Turbidity and Chemical Oxygen Demand Reduction from Pig Slurry through a Coagulation Flocculation Process

Pig slurry is considered a high-risk effluent that causes several environmental problems if it is not adequately managed and treated. White Iberian pig farms in the southeast of Spain treat their slurry in situ using separation, double filtration, decantation, and constructed wetland treatments. How...
