Despite the recognized efficiency of natural coagulants, their widespread adoption in water treatment industry remains low. Our study evaluates effectiveness three coagulants—Moringa Oleifera, Yausa (Abutilon Insigne Planch), and Breadfruit (Artocarpus Altilis)—in reducing turbidity levels 40–50 NTU. Among these, two are native plant species potentially applicable rural Colombian areas, where there evident disparities infrastructure. This research contributes to development these exploring integration with existing methods, determining optimal concentrations, efficiencies removal. findings reveal significant removal efficiencies: 88.9% for Moringa 83.3% Yausa, 67.2% Breadfruit. These results indicate feasibility agents as sustainable replacements traditional chemical exhibiting a level alike that observed Oleifera. However, challenges practical implementation sustainability, covering technical, environmental, economic, social aspects, notable obstacles. The aim this is not only demonstrate coagulants but also encourage broader acceptance into practices incorporating unstudied species, such Breadfruit, furthering overcome challenges.

In the recent decades, developing nations aim to industrialize and grow sustainably often ignoring environmental consequences. However, few empirical studies have looked at influence of industrialization-driven economic transition on marine pollution, in particular post trade openness. This paper analyzes nexus between openness, industrialization, pollution. The study uses time series data (1995–2022) applies quantile regression analyze impact openness industrialization finding this suggested that a significant positive Trade activities rapid towards enforced large industrial inputs resulting general, wastewater contains heavy metals, organic compounds, toxic chemicals, causes pollution disturb life if not treated properly. Thus, improper waste management mitigation leads Therefore, implications strategic policy integrates trade, is prime concern need be address for effective control. To minimize effects operations, developed should promote sustainable practices stricter regulations international trade.

Coagulation is a widely employed technique for removing suspended particles from water and wastewater, recently, it has gotten attention as popular method the removal of microplastics (MPs). Studies on coagulation-based MPs are still in their infancy, few findings available about this treatment approach, its mechanism, efficiency. Given these gaps, study was designed to comprehensively investigate recent advances via coagulation. The influence various experimental factors such coagulant type, dose coagulant, pH solution, shape critically reviewed. showed that optimizing environmental conditions during coagulation process crucial improving reducing energy costs. efficiency depends optimal reaction conditions, which may vary depending type concentration characteristics or wastewater being treated. Optimizing is, therefore, critical achieving maximum More extensive research required reveal mechanisms controlling floc density pollutants effluent. Consequently, current review aims highlight gaps challenges associated with techniques treatment. Current advancements synthesis chemical modification bio-based coagulants performance could constitute paradigm shift ecosystem protection sustainability. use eco-friendly combining other suggested increase efficacy viability method. This will provide significant insights field researchers, guiding future investigations contributing advancement knowledge.

Natural-based coagulants have emerged as a reliable option to implement more sustainable operations and management of wastewater treatment plants. This work aims at evaluating the use cationic nanofibrillated celluloses (cNFC) novel bio-based flocculants treat domestic wastewaters by most widely employed process – coagulation/flocculation. Two cNFC samples were prepared with different charge densities tested coagulant/flocculants using water characteristics. The effect cNFCs was studied measuring residual turbidity dissolved organic carbon. aggregation mechanism kinetics flocculation also evaluated. Results show that can be used an efficient flocculant medium high DOC waters since they considerably reduce (turbidity removals varied between 66.0 % 85.7 for tested) without increasing Instead, removed carbon from (between 22.1 65.5 tested), which is remarkable finding step forward in this knowledge area. High density charged revealed superior removal capacity lower doses than commercial coagulant FeCl3.
