Leachate treatment: comparison of a bio-coagulant (Opuntia ficus mucilage) and conventional coagulants using multi-criteria decision analysis

The main aim of this research was to compare a bio-coagulant, organic coagulant, and a conventional coagulant applied to the treatment of leachates. Coagulant options were Stage 1 FeCl3, Stage 2 Polyamine, and Stage 3 Opuntia ficus mucilage (OFM). Optimal conditions for maximum chemical oxygen deman...
