This goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new coagulant extract from pumpkin seeds (PSC) for removing turbidity and organic compounds from different natural surface waters. Two design experiment methods, namely central composite design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM...

Several chemical coagulants previously utilize for wastewater treatment with significant performance in removing heavy metals and other parameters. However, their cost effective and the residual of toxic chemical precipitates that pose problems to human health and the environment. Therefore, using...
