Abstract

Turbidity is the measure of the relative clarity of a liquid. It is an optical characteristic of water and is a measurement of the amount of light that is scattered by material in the water when a light is shined through the water sample. The higher the intensity of scattered light, the higher the turbidity. Turbidity in the water creates both aesthetic and health issues. Surface water treatment plants remove particles because they can cause objectionable appearances, tastes, and odours and can interfere with disinfection. A wide range of natural coagulants, such as moringa seeds, banana peel, jatropha curcas, cassava peel starch, watermelon, pawpaw, beans, nirmali seeds, and okra have been studied previously. Natural coagulants in powder forms are usually added directly to wastewater. The most commonly used inorganic chemical coagulants in water treatment. Aluminium sulfate Al2(SO4)3 is the most commonly used chemical for coagulation in wastewater treatment. Additional commonly used coagulants include sodium aluminate NaAlO₂, ferric sulphate Fe2(SO4)3, and ferric chloride FeCl3. Wastewater can be destructive for the public because it contains a variety of organic and inorganic substances, biological substances, toxic inorganic compounds, and the presence of toxic materials. The coagulant chemicals and their associated products are resourceful but these may change the characteristics of water. The wastewater can be harmful for local uses, so we are going to treat this wastewater by removing turbidity and total dissolved solids by using natural & artificial coagulants. In this process, the wastewater will be treated for other uses like in construction for mixing with cement or curing and other works.
