Use of Natural Coagulants from Fruit Peels for Wastewater Treatment in the Industrial Area of Mahasamund District, Chhattisgarh (India)

Abstract The increasing demand for sustainable and cost-effective wastewater treatment has led to the exploration of natural coagulants as an alternative to conventional chemical-based therapies. Fruit peels, an abundant agricultural waste, have emerged as a promising natural coagulant due to their rich composition of bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, proteins, and fiber, which facilitate coagulation and flocculation processes. This study investigates the effectiveness of fruit peels such as those of bananas, oranges, pineapples, and apples in wastewater treatment. Experimental results demonstrate their ability to reduce turbidity, suspended solids, and organic contaminants while being biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The use of fruit peels enhances water purification efficiency and promotes waste valorization, making it a sustainable approach for wastewater treatment, particularly in resource-limited areas. This study highlights the potential of fruit peels as a green and economical alternative to synthetic coagulants, contributing to sustainable water management solutions.
Keywords wastewater treatment, fruit peels, cost-effective, bananas, oranges, pineapples.
