An
explorative investigation was conducted for the feasible use of natural
coagulants in the treatment of textile effluent in Erode district of Tamil Nadu
(India). In this article, three natural coagulants namely Moringa oleifera,
Tamarina indica, Strychonomous potatorum of 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mL dosages
were used to spot the suitable one as primary coagulant. Floc formation in
coagulation process had been studied in the laboratory scale to determine the
optimum dosage of natural coagulants. Pre and post treated textile wastewaters
with natural coagulants were considered to evaluate the percentage removal
efficiency on the major pollutants of concern in textile effluent such as pH,
turbidity, TSS, TDS, COD and BOD. Influence of settling time of natural
coagulants on the removal of physiochemical characteristics of textile effluent
was studied. From the observed results, the natural coagulant Moringa oleifera
gives better removal efficiencies with respect to turbidity, TSS, TDS, COD and
BOD and appears to be suitable for textile effluent treatment in Erode
district, when compared with Tamarina indica and Strychonomous potatorum. The
surface morphology of the untreated textile effluent and treated textile
effluent with optimum dosage of M. oleifera, T. indica and S. potatorum were
observed by means of SEM analysis.
