Abstract— Performing jar test method is used for finding out optimum conditions (coagulant type, coagulant dose, pH etc.)for treatment of domestic wastewater before physicochemical process, or coagulation process. In this study, Response Surface Method (RSM) is applied to determine optimum combinations of coagulant dose and pH value in jar test. Alum, FeCl3 and FeSO4 are used as coagulant and compared with highest removal efficiency of their two responses which turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD).Finding equations from RSM are also evaluated with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method by using Matlab Program. Alum and Ferric Chloridedose500 mg/lat pH7 found as optimum conditions for domestic wastewater treatment. COD removal for Alum and Ferric Chloride are 90% and 70%,respectively.In addition, Because of becoming low COD removal (maximum 50%) and ineffectively color removal, Ferric Sulfate coagulant found as inconvenient for treating domestic wastewater.
Keywords— Optimization, Domestic Wastewater Treatment, pH, COD, Turbidity, PSO, RSM.
