Biodegradable coagulant from natural resources for wastewater treatment

Biodegradable coagulant from natural resources for wastewater treatment / Leslie Ewe Fang Jun
Koagulan bersumber natural seperti daun buah naga, kulit dalaman nangka, biji betik dan lidah buaya, yang memang mesra alam dijadikan kajian untuk merawat air keruh. Tidak seperti koagulan kimia seperti tawas, koagulan natural tidak berbahaya kepada kesihatan, terurai semula jadi dan lestari. Antara koagulan ini, daun buah naga adalah koagulan yang terbaik. Koagulan ini dapat mencapai lebih 98% daripada penyingkiran kekeruhan dengan dos optimum 20 mg / L pada pH 7. Aktiviti koagulan tidak terjejas dengan pH air keruh. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Biodegradable coagulants form natural resources such as dragon fruit foliage, jackfruit inner skin, papaya seeds and aloe vera are definitely environmental friendly is study to treat the turbid water. Unlike chemical coagulants such as alum, they are nonhazardous, biodegradable and sustainable. Among these coagulants, dragon fruit foliage is the best coagulant activity. It achieved over 98% of turbidity removal with optimum dosing 20 mg/L at pH 7. The performance does not affect much by the pH of the turbid water.
