Narrative Report
Bhupendra Koul et al. (2022) stated that using chemical-based coagulants such as ferric chloride (FeCl3),
alum (AlCl3), synthetic polymers (polyacrylamide), and poly aluminum is the most widely used and
traditional approach for treating water (WT). Unfortunately, because this method produces a lot of non-
biodegradable sludge, its use is not sustainable. However, because natural coagulants are inexpensive,
safe, and biodegradable, they offer a different, sustainable approach to the removal of turbidity and WT.
There are three main sources of natural coagulants: microorganisms, plants, and animals.

Title of the Source: Natural organic matter (NOM) and turbidity removal by plant-based coagulants: A
review

Narrative Report
Benjamin U Okoro a et al. (2021) stated that NOM in water quality affects taste, clarity, color, and odour,
increasing coagulant and chlorine consumption and potentially causing health issues. The coagulation-
flocculation (CF) technique is used to remove NOM, but plant-based coagulant products (PCPs) have
been proposed as sustainable alternatives due to their availability, low cost, and biodegradability. This
review paper explores PCPs' biophysical properties, CF mechanism, and efficiency in reducing NOM and
suggests ways to overcome commercialization drawbacks.

Narrative Report
Jonas Raul Balbinoti a b et al. (2023) stated that reducing the environmental effect of industrial
operations requires the use of sustainable effluent treatment methods. Because natural coagulants are
more biodegradable and non-toxic than synthetic ones, replacing synthetic coagulants in part or whole
can minimize the environmental impact of effluent treatment. This is especially true of plant-based
coagulants. In general, natural coagulants are less expensive. The treatment of wastewater in the food
industry using plant-based coagulants is the main topic of this review. The effluent treatment conditions
for various coagulants as well as the extraction parameters for plant-based coagulants are presented.
The effectiveness of plant-based coagulants is compared to that of conventional, synthetic coagulants,
both standalone and in combination with coagulant aids, based on a thorough evaluation of peer-
reviewed literature on wastewater treatment for the food industry. This review intends to assist
scientists and business experts in refining and expanding environmentally friendly wastewater treatment
processes through the use of natural coagulants.
