Abstract
The treatment of combined dye and protein wastewater is a major environmental concern, due to its complex composition and high organic content. In this study, the effectiveness of the coagulation process for the treatment of combined dye and protein wastewater was investigated. Results of the study showed that the coagulation process was effective in removing suspended solids, color, and organic matter from the combined dye and protein wastewater. The removal efficiency varied depending on the type and dosage of the coagulant used. Among the coagulants tested, alum and ferric chloride were found to be the most effective in removing suspended solids and color. Overall, the coagulation process was found to be an effective method for treating combined dye and protein wastewater. The results of the study suggest that coagulation can be used in combination with other treatment processes to achieve effective wastewater treatment and meet the desired effluent quality.
