“…The initial condition in river water smelled a slight ammonia odor due to household waste, while in laundry water, there was a detergent odor. The decrease in the odor of wastewater from pungent to odorless occurs because tamarind seed husks contain volatile aroma compounds, natural polysaccharides with antibacterial activity, and odor-masking substances (Sofiavizhimalar et al, 2022). Previous research also revealed that the ethanol extract of tamarind seed skin has been tested for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (Rahim et al, 2023).…”

Discharging wastewater directly into the environment can harm nearby organisms. Efforts to increase environmental awareness, especially about sewage, can be started with educational activities. The study investigates the correlation between chemistry material and water purification using tamarind seed bio coagulant, assessing its feasibility for chemistry experiment design in schools. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. This study described data from observations of water purification using tamarind seedcoagulant, literature studies on chemistry practicum, and interviews with two chemistry teachers and two high school students.The results showed that the relationship between colloidal material and the experiment was to determine the types of products that contain colloidal systems in daily life and the properties of colloids. The results of the chemical parameter test revealed significant changes in the pH levels of river, laundry, and batik wastewater samples, with batik coloring waste showing the most significant changes. The organoleptic test results revealed significant changes in the color, odor, and sediment of batik dyeing wastewater. The protein in tamarind seeds can destabilize substances that cause turbidity. Based on literature studies and interviews, tamarind seed bio coagulant is feasible as a teaching material for chemistry practicum on colloidal system.

Poor access to adequate, clean, and safe water is one of the greatest world problems people encounter. There has been considerable attention in recent times toward the use of natural coagulants for water treatment. This study seeks to promote this by investigating the potential of Elephantorrhiza goetzei (E. goetzei) seed extract as natural coagulants for water treatment. This included the determination of key ingredients responsible for the coagulation process and optimal dosages for the removal of turbidity, fluoride, manganese, and iron. The residual content of organic matter in the treated water and the quality of sludge produced were also investigated. The methodology consisted of a proximate analysis procedure to investigate the active ingredient(s) responsible for coagulation and standard jar tests. Standard methods were used for the analyses. Coagulant dosages ranging from 0 to 300 mg/L at a rapid mixing speed of 120 rpm for 1 min, a slow mixing speed of 30 rpm for 15 min, and a settling time of 15 min were used for the jar test. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) using IBM SPSS Version 20 was conducted, and regression models were developed to determine the effect of coagulant dosage on turbidity, pH, total dissolved solids, fluoride, iron, manganese, chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen, and phosphorus. The results obtained from the proximate analysis of E. goetzei seed extract show that values of 5.25%, 21.40%, 8.23%, 32.99%, 2.20%, and 29.93% were obtained for moisture, crude protein, crude fiber, fat, ash, and carbohydrate content, respectively. Moreover, seed extract of E. goetzei achieved removal efficiencies up to 94.8%, 50.1%, 90.0%, and 53.9% for turbidity, fluoride, iron, and manganese in water, respectively. The coagulant has the potential to achieve the desired World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water standards for turbidity, fluoride, iron, and manganese. The COD increased from 55.3 to 419.3 mg/L as the coagulant dosage increased from 0 to 100 mg/L. This could cause an unwanted rise in microbial activities, affecting the microbiological quality of the treated water. The total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations obtained in the sludge at 100 mg/L were 0.343 and 0.194 µg/kg, respectively, and this compromises its attractiveness for agricultural reuse purposes.
