Abstract

Water is very important for the survival of both plant, animal and humans as well. Consumption of safe water is a must for humans because polluted water causes different types of water borne diseases. Coagulation is a conventional step of water purification and bio-coagulant is a new horizon to go green. Cicer arietinum, which is known as chickpea and Abelmoschus escukntus or Okra, can be used for the treatment of surface water. The coagulant of such kind may not replace synthetic conventional coagulant like alum but be an alternative at times of crisis. In this study, removal of turbidity, pH level and the difference between natural coagulant and synthetic coagulant were conducted at the same level of turbidity for polluted water with the Okra and Chickpea were extract using different solvent which are distilled water and HC1. The turbidity removal efficiency for Okra that extract with distilled water and HC1 are 64.7% and 79.95%, while for chickpea are 62.55% and 69.93%, for alum the turbidity removal efficiency is 86.10%.
