“…It can be deduced that the coagulant dosage has a significant influence on the coagulation process [6]. In short, it could interpret that a larger coagulant dosage will directly add to the natural coagulant's effectiveness in lowering lake water turbidity [11]. Meanwhile, for treatment using SHC, there is an increase in turbidity in 200 mg/L compared to initial turbidity value.…”

“…This is because plant-based coagulant is nonhazardous or harmless to human and aquatic life. It is also a biodegradable product and made of renewable resources that are easy to find [11]. Therefore, to reduce the risk of chemical exposure to humans and the environment, aluminum sulphate chemicals are reduced by substituting the chemical coagulant with a natural coagulant.…”

“…According to previous research, employing plant-based material as a natural coagulant to treat wastewater has proven to be more effective than using a chemical coagulant. The plants were effective to remove turbidity and color from the water sample using 40-120 mg/L of plant-based coagulant [11]. Thus, this study is conducted to analyze the effectiveness of banana peel coagulant (BPC) and soybean hull coagulant (SHC) to remove turbidity and total suspended solid of lake water samples based on the number of dosages of these plants.…”

Lake water getcontaminate due to the growth of population and modernization which causing problems like sewage disposal has a high-volume and low-strength wastewater that can be reused for many purposes after being treated. It is crucial for wastewater to go through wastewater treatment to improves the quality of water where one of the processes involved is coagulation yet using conventional coagulant leaves excess heavy metal in the water causes in the absence of green chemistry. Chemical coagulants may have an adverse effect on the consumer and the environment such as aluminum build up in the environment, as well as have a harmful influence on the human body, resulting in Alzheimer's disease. The use of natural coagulants can be a secure replacement for chemical coagulants. Therefore, this study was conducted to reduce the usage of chemicals in the coagulation process by using natural coagulant of banana peels and soybean hulls. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of natural coagulant for wastewater treatment of lake water. Banana peels and soybean hulls were the main materials in making a plant-based coagulant by drying, grinding, and sieving. Jar test was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of natural coagulant by determining their turbidity and total suspended solids.It was found that banana peels perform effectively at a dosage of 400mg/L with turbidity removal achieved is almost 50%. On the other hand, soybean hulls work effectively at a dosage of 600mg/L with turbidity removal achieved is 54%. Based on the result, it is shown that using banana peels as a natural coagulant has effectively reduced the turbidity and total suspended solids of lake water with the optimum number of dosages of 600mg/L.

“…Sustainable plant-based green coagulants have replaced chemical because of their effectiveness, biodegradability and greater respect for the environment. Studies have reported that plant waste and fruit peels used as coagulants have shown good effectiveness in removing various pollutants from wastewater [ 18 , 19 ]. In fact, Moringa Oleifera seeds exhibited 99.8 % turbidity (TUR) removal efficiency, owing to their protein-rich compositions that act as cationic polyelectrolytes in the coagulation/flocculation process [ 20 ].…”

In South Africa, lack of access to clean and safe water is one of the main causes of poverty because it makes agriculture, livestock raising cattle, forestry, fisheries, hydropower, and other innovative activities unstainable. This requires sustainable solution to address the present water crisis via the coagulation pretreatment process. Herein, using natural coagulants comes in handy to replace chemical coagulants, due to their potential of nontoxicity, biodegradability, readily available, and eco-friendly. Therefore, this study investigated the preparation and characterization of natural coagulants using bio-waste materials. This included banana peel (BP), eggshells (ES), and seashells (SS) and their calcinated counterparts. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were used to investigate the properties of the natural coagulants. The calcined coagulants are suited for water treatment and based on characterization, calcined banana peels were superior to the others. The optimum conditions for the calcination temperature of BP were 400℃ for a retention time of 2 hours and a temperature of 800℃ at a retention time of 3 hours for SS and ES. The findings demonstrate that the calcined banana peel had a larger surface area and pore size of 4.3889 m 2 /g and 3.167 Å, respectively. Additionally, it had a potassium content of 34.1 wt.%, and the FTIR results suggest that the functional group OH may have been present. These factors make this bio-coagulant superior to other bio-coagulants, and hence, it would be beneficial for wastewater treatment.
