Original Abstract

This article discusses the possibilities of using natural polymers in the water treatment process to replace conventional chemical-based reagents. Mainly part of article presented the results of a laboratory-scale research focused on the use of alternative coagulants in water treatment. Attention was particularly paid to natural cation coagulants derived from Moringa oleifera seeds and chitin. These two coagulant agents were used in laboratory research for treating real raw water. Several series of laboratory jar tests were performed to identify the effectiveness of the selected coagulants in removing turbidity from water.
