Figure 1. Nanoparticles. 5. Application of Pressure Application of pressure increases the dewatering rate to a considerable level. Using a metal piston coated with synthetic rubber weighing roughly around 1.48kgs and additional weight of 1kg is applied. Figure 3. Jar test apparatus. Therefore selected dosage of Aluminiumsulphate: 600mg/I (for 500 ml sample): 6000mg/I (for 5 litresof waste water) For Nanoparticles: Similarly, for the selection of dosages of nanoparticles was done through jar test, following dosages were used: Table 2.
