The Use of Okra Seeds and Calamansi Fruits as Coagulant Agent and Aid in the Coagulation System in Separating Microbes from River Water from Hagonoy, Bulacan

The aim of this research is to generate an effective solution that is capable of separating potable water from the wastewater with the use of pulverized okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seeds, calamansi (Citrofortunella microcarpa) fruit dosage, and chlorine with the use of  several water treatments such as coagulation, flocculation and disinfection as results will be determined through different tests published from the quality assessment of the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water of 2017.

The researchers would utilize coagulation or coagulation flocculation, in a water treatment in which it involves the inclusion of compounds that promote the clumping of finer materials into larger flocs so that they can be easily separated from water. Natural coagulants originating from vegetables and seeds were in use for the purpose of water treatment before the wide scale use of chemical salts, but they have not been able to displace the use of chemical salts as the scientific grasp of their effectiveness and mechanism of action was lacking (Ghodwani et al, 2017). The usage of biological coagulants has not picked up so far because of the lack of clarity in the method to use them commercially. The researchers have given way to inorganic salts progressively under modernization and survived only in some parts of some developing countries. In coagulation, colloidal particles are destabilized by neutralizing those opposite forces which keep them separate. Thus, the particles combine to form larger particles and this is achieved by rapid mixing of solution which spreads the coagulant agent completely. (Bhardwaj, Rajput & Misra, 2019). It is said that one of the most effective water treatment processes is coagulation. It is one of the most efficient method of treatment which helps in removing mainly toxic metals and chemicals present in the water, there are many coagulants that are being used for example, alum, copper sulphate, lime, and the likes. Certain polymers are also being used as coagulants in many industries but the major drawback of such coagulants is the treatment and management of the toxic residues and sediments produced after coagulation (Mishra, Singh & Srivastava, 2017).
