“…Loss of ruggedness of 97.3% of the 90 mg/L sugarcane bagasse tested as a coagulant (Zaidi et al, 2019). Extracts such as those of fenugreek can achieve turbidity removal efficiencies as high as 98% as compared to 85% for alum (Diver et al, 2023). The results revealed that banana peels demonstrated the most effective turbidity removal at 70.78 % in relative to other fruit wastes, without optimization processes.…”

“…Carbonized trash can potentially be utilized as a substitute fuel to generate energy (Kacprzak & Włodarczyk, 2023). Because organic coagulants do not harm the environment and produce less sludge than chemical coagulants, their use in wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) increases the usage of renewable energy sources (Diver et al, 2023). Renewable resources are promoted by the use of organic coagulants in wastewater treatment plants (IPAL) (Czerwionka et al, 2020).…”

Purpose: In response to contemporary global issues like pollution, global warming, and the loss of natural resources, the circular bioeconomy has been proposed. Using organic waste as a bioagulant facilitates the shift to a circular and sustainable bioeconomy. For homes that use well water that has been excavated, the concentration of chemical coagulants must be taken into consideration. The purpose of this study is to use banana peel powder as a biocoagulant to lower the turbidity level of water from a dug well. Research methodology: The Paired Sample T-Test and the ANOVA test with Welsh correction were used to examine the average change in turbidity 0.000 <0.05 was the ? value obtained. Results: The Post Hoc Games-Howell test findings revealed a noteworthy distinction between the treatment groups. This study concludes that the biocoagulant made of powdered banana horn can lower turbidity to a level that satisfies health standards.
