Development Of Bio-Coagulant From Mango Pit For The Purification Of Turbid Water

Abstract

Coagulant was prepared from Mango pits to be used for the treatment or purification of water. Different operating parameters such as coagulant dose, pH, concentration of synthetic turbid water were optimized. It reported 98% removal of turbidity at 0.5ml dose and pH13. The coagulant was also compared with commercial coagulant such as aluminium sulphate. Coagulation activity of mango pit was (98%) found to be higher than other natural (organic) coagulant. It was also observed that as the pH increases the removal efficiency also increased. This process of obtaining natural coagulants from mango pit is very economical and environment friendly so government should bring it on commercial scale.
