Abstract

Corchorus olitorius, (CR) an environmentally friendly biomass was used as a coagulant in this work for the treatment of phosphorus containing effluent using Nephelometric method. The research evaluates the coag-flocculation efficiency of CR coagulant as well as kinetic parameter response of CR to varying pH and dosage of the waste water effluent. Coag-flocculation reaction order α, coag-flocculation rate constant K, and coagulation period  were determined. The maximum coag-flocculation performance is recorded at rate constant, K of 5x10-5 l/mg.mm, dosage of 500mg/l, pH of 6 and coagulation period of 5.4 mins. While the coag-flocculation efficiency obtained E > 70% at the condition of the experiment.
