ABSTRACT:

High turbidity in water is a good indicative of undrinkable water quality and suggests contamination of water having suspended particles of heavy metals in it.Water treatment plants also fails to treat contaminated water associated with turbidity in it. The main objective of this study is to treat high turbidity water by Magnetite particles in the effect of a magnetic field,which enhances the rate of removal of turbidity from water.After magnetization magnetite particles can remove turbidity from 9600 NTU to 20 NTU. The use of magnetite particles are also pH friendly because they are more effective up to pH OF 6.0 to9.0. It has also been investigated that recycle of magnetite particles and their reuse is also recommendable. Cetyltrimethyl ammoniumbromide (CTAB) and other similar tri derivatives are found useful in regeneration of magnetite particles.
