Authors: Richard Alexis Ukpe and Idongesit Ignatius Udo
The effectiveness of polydialdimethylammonium (PDC) as a coagulant in the improvement of chloride the physicochemical quality of water from Otuoke, Ox-bow and Swalli Rivers was investigated concerning temperature, phenolphthalein/total alkalinity, turbidity, pH and hardness. These parameters were determined in the original samples and after treatment with PDC. The results obtained indicated higher efficiency at a higher period of contact, concentration, PDC’s dosage and temperature. However, the conductivity and pH were found to increase with an increase in temperature. The results obtained indicated that water samples from these Rivers can be modified by PDC.
