Revolutionary Walnut Seed Extract Removes Water Turbidity, Enhances Coagulation Process
Natural coagulant from walnut seeds was tested for removing water turbidity. It was used alone and with alum in water treatment tests. The best results were seen with a dose of 3 ml/L and a pH above 7. The walnut seed extract improved the coagulation process and reduced the need for alum. It did not affect organic matter in the water. A model using walnut seed extract showed high efficiency in removing turbidity.
