“…Most of the coagulation studies using natural coagulants were conducted on synthetic textile waste (Kristianto et al, 2018;Suresh et al, 2019;Obiora-Okafo & Onukwuli, 2017;Onukwuli, Obiora-Okafo, & Omotioma, 2019;Dalvand et al, 2016) or surface water (Adesina, Abdulkareem, Yusuff, Lala, & Okewale, 2019), yet little attention was given to real waste samples. Until recently, the new trends in the field were directed towards investigating the performance of these natural coagulants on real waste samples for the purpose of finding better alternatives for industrial applications (Dotto et al, 2019;Rambe, 2018;Dos Santos, 2018). Although, some of these studies gave reasonably good results when applied to synthetic waste, but the removal efficiency was comparatively low when applied to real samples (Saritha et al, 2019).…”
