Abstract | Cationic polymers known as flocculants were tested for effectiveness in concentrating virus particles present in large bodies of water. Prelminary studies were done using the bacteriophage T-3 and concentrations of 50, 75, and 100 ppm of flocculant. The virus was suspended in polluted river water and at each level of concentration, there was more virus recovered in the sediment compared to the supernatant liquid. (Author) |
