Randomized trial compares biocoagulants and alum in reducing wastewater pollutants, indicating potential for eco-friendly solutions.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of natural biocoagulants from maggot shells and moringa seeds compared to commercial alum in treating tofu wastewater.
Produced natural biocoagulants from maggot shells and moringa seeds.
Conducted jar tests to determine optimum dosages.
Measured pH, total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, and color parameters of the wastewater.
Alum achieved 98.66% TSS removal, 86.67% turbidity removal, and 96.17% color removal at 250 mg.L-1.
Moringa seed biocoagulant removed 98.66% TSS, 86.67% turbidity, and 96.17% color at 150 mg.L-1.
Maggot shell biocoagulant removed 83.89% TSS, 74.96% turbidity, and 77.48% color at 150 mg.L-1.
