%T Effects on suspensions dispersed particles & water purification produced by Cardon Dato mucilage, Iron Chloride, alum, and their combinations
%U http://oa.upm.es/3334/
%X Pressure to use dispersive soils has increased worldwide, soil conservation against erosion is crucial and water contamination by eroded materials is a relevant problem. Organic and inorganic conditioners reduce soils’ particles dispersion, improve soils´ structure and permeability, and reduce water sources contamination. The effects of a Cardon Dato (Stenocereus griseus (Haw.) F. Buxb) mucilage (CD), FeCl3.6H2O and AlCl3.6H2O, on flocculating suspensions and arrangement of suspended particles from a Spain kaolin were comparatively studied.
