Variation of Al species during water treatment: correlation with treatment efficiency under varied hydraulic conditions

The concentration of hydrolyzed coagulant ion species is a key factor in determining drinking water treatment efficiency. Direct correlation of water treatment efficiency with changes in species during coagulation has not been addressed. We investigated the correlation under different hydraulic cond...
