Abstract:Conventional chemical coagulants are used for potable water treatment, which requires unsustainable mining and transformation of raw materials for their production with costly sludge disposal. Natural coagulants are potential alternatives to chemical coagulants. This study emphasized the use of natural eco-friendly coagulants (oat and onion seed) for turbid water treatment. Coagulant seeds were characterized by different techniques such as SEM, EDX, FTIR, and zeta potential analyzer. Response surface method (R… Show more
