  • Can natural coagulants be used in wastewater treatment?
  • Flocculants, both organic and inorganic, have long been used in wastewater treatment. The use of natural coagulants/flocculants for water and wastewater treatment has become essential due to the health risks associated with chemical flocculants. Tannin, a natural coagulant, has been suggested as substitute of chemical coagulants.
  • Can natural flocculants be used as coagulant aid?
  • In addition, the flocculation performance is dependent on the characteristics of the wastewater (pH and type of particles containing in wastewater), consequently, the natural flocculants can be moderately effective and only can be utilized as coagulant aid , .
  • Which organic flocculants are used in wastewater treatment?
  • Natural organic flocculants like chitosan, cellulose, tannin, starch, gelatin and their derivatives and microbial flocculants have been investigated for their flocculation mechanism in wastewater treatment.
  • Are natural flocculants a sustainable technology for water and wastewater treatment?
  • Finally, the future prospects, challenges and recommendations are also provided in order to advance the developments of natural flocculants to enable them to be a long-term sustainable technology for water and wastewater treatment. 2.
