Use of thermal water as a natural coagulant for domestic wastewater sustainable treatment

In the last several years, the interest on domestic wastewater treatment has increased due to the rise of water consumption resulted from the world population growth. The excessive use of inorganic coagulants, such as aluminum sulphate, in domestic wastewater treatment processes contributes to gener...
