Efficacy of Plant-Based Natural Coagulants for Domestic and Industrial Water Purification
By Ugbana Kelvin, et al.Water
purification remains a pressing concern globally, particularly in regions with
limited access to clean water. Chemical coagulants, while effective, often pose
environmental and health challenges. This review explores the viability of
plant-based natural coagulants (PNCs) as sustainable, efficient, and
eco-friendly alternatives for domestic and industrial water purification.
Drawing from empirical research and case studies, we examine various plant
sources, coagulation mechanisms, treatment efficiency, influencing factors, and
scalability. The findings reveal that PNCs hold significant promise for
enhancing water treatment, especially in resource-constrained communities.
