Randomized trial investigates phytocoagulation for metal removal in rural groundwater, highlighting community support.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid phytocoagulation system for removing iron and manganese from groundwater.
Conducted a factorial randomized block trial with varying plant biomass, Moringa doses, and contact times.
Investigated the efficacy of extracts from Eichhornia crassipes and Moringa oleifera seeds.
Performed Pearson correlation analysis to assess the relationship between iron and manganese concentrations.
Optimal treatment configuration reduced iron concentration to 0.082 mg/L (97.77%) and manganese concentration to almost zero (98.71%).
Pearson correlation analysis showed a strong positive correlation (r=0.821) between iron and manganese concentrations.
Public perception analysis indicated high acceptance of the method (75.72%) among affected households.
