This research aims to study Latex Factory Effluent Treatment Using Biomass from power plant fly ash. The purpose of the study is to compare treated latex factory effluent using fly ash from power plant with that of industrial effluent standard issued by Thailand’s Pollution Control Department. The experiments used Coagulation as chemical treatment method. The experiments were carried out using fly ash with 0, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 grams dry weight. The agitation times were 10, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, respectively with the settling time of 30 minutes. The treated water was analysed for the following parameters: pH, turbidity, turbidity, sulfate and conductivity, respectively. The results shown that the best experimental set is Experiment 6, with 6 g fly ash, 60 minutes stirring time and settling time of 30 minutes. The treated turbidity value is 456 NTU COD equivalent to 28000 mg/L, the sulfate content is 23100 mg / L, conductivity is 19590 μs / cm, respectively. The pH value is 5.47 in the experiment 6 with the highest corrected pH possible in this study by adding 6 grams of fly ash with stirring time of 60 minutes. However, other parameters of treated effluent still not meet with industrial effluent standards. Further study and improvement are needed.
