Evaluation of Natural Flocculants for Conventional Water Treatment Ayo Samuel Afolabia, Rudzani Sigwadib, Ambali Saka Abdulkareemc and Corina Mary Mateescud Department of Civil and Chemical Engineering, College of Science, Engineering and Technology University of South Africa, P/Bag X6, Florida 1710, Johannesburg, South Africa.
The production of potable water from most raw water sources usually entails the use of a coagulation/flocculation stage to remove turbidity in the form of suspended and colloidal material [1, 2].
Organic compounds originate from decaying plants and animal matters and from agricultural runoffs, which constitute natural humic material to synthetic organics used as detergents, pesticides, herbicides, and solvents.
Materials and Experimental Procedure The jar test is the most widely used method for evaluating and optimizing the flocculation processes, and this equipment was used in this experiment.

Just-in-time purchasing was evolved from the just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing, which is a technique that in simple terms calls for the reduction of inventory by having materials ready at each point in the manufacturing process, just in time to be used.
JIT is typically implemented while it translates into production and delivery of finished goods just in time to be sold, subassemblies just in time to be assembled into finished goods, fabricated parts just in time to go into subassemblies, and purchased materials just in time to be transformed into fabricated parts [1].

To achieve higher energy efficiency, cost and reliability, the wide bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) offers great potential to replace Si-IGBT because of its wider bandgap, lower voltage drop, faster switching, higher breakdown voltage, higher operating temperature [1-2] and its material properties are shown in Table I.
The material properties between SiC and Si-IGBT Methods To investigate the advantage of SiC in the power module and inverter’s application, we make some assumptions to compare the performance between SiC and Si-IGBT at different ambient temperatures.

These building blocks are nano-sized materials ranging from soft materials such as lipids, amino acids, dendrites, and polymers, to metallic nanoparticles composed of gold, silver, iron and other metals forming quantum dots, to the various nanomaterials composed of carbon.
Table 1 shows four different types of CNT bulk materials, ranging from a light fluffy powder to a dense granular material.
Nanotube defects may also be common in CNT raw materials.
CNTs can also be used to create nanocomposite materials for medical device development.
