Natural polysaccharides, derived from biomass feedstocks, marine resources, and
microorganisms, have been attracting considerable attention as benign and environmentally …

A review of plant-based coagulant sources, processes, effectiveness and relevant
coagulating mechanisms for treatment of water and wastewater is presented. These …

Wastewater irrigated fields can cause potential contamination with heavy metals to soil and
groundwater, thus pose a threat to human beings. The current study was designed to …

Coagulation and flocculation provide a rather straightforward method towards water
clarification. However, ongoing debates over worrying health issues linked to chemical …

In the present study, coagulation–flocculation was investigated as a pretreatment process for
the treatment of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) wastewater. The effect of various inorganic …

Plant-based coagulants/flocculants are foreseen to be a major progress in water treatment
technology owing to their safety, biodegradability and availability, unlike synthetic chemical …

Agro-industrial wastes can become organic aids for coagulation, being an alternative to
metallic coagulants. In this study ripe okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) and passion fruit …

In many countries like Pakistan, where crops are irrigated by wastewater, the accumulation
of heavy metals is a serious problem, especially when such an irrigation is a widespread …

In this study, the application of a food grade polysaccharide namely Plantago psyllium
mucilage has been assessed for the removal of dyes from model textile wastewater …

In this study, the flocculant behavior of Malva sylvestris (mallow) and Hibiscus esculentus
(okra) mucilages was assessed for the removal of turbidity from synthetic and biologically …
