Removal Of Turbidity Using Papaya Seed As A Natural Coagulant
Abstrak
This research aims to use papaya seeds to make a Natural Coagulant. Natural coagulants are compounds that can cause coagulation in liquids, particularly in water treatment procedures, and can be derived from plant, animal, or microbiological sources. This particular substance was selected based on research showing it to be an effective coagulant in the water treatment process. The objectives of this project are to create non-chemical coagulants using natural resources like papaya seeds, create ecologically friendly coagulants from these materials, and measure the turbidity of water samples after utilizing these plant materials. Papaya seeds should then be dried, ground into smaller bits, and extracted. Filtering should be completed following extraction. Papaya seeds were used in three separate ratio tests. When the three papaya seed amounts are ready, they will be measured in quantities varied to approximate six beakers full of sample water from Lake Sultan Idris Shah Polytechnic for the jar test procedure. The papaya seeds will be extracted using 50 ml of distilled water. Of the three papaya seed ratios, the lowest turbidity value is 3.45 NTU for 10 grams, 1.77 NTU for 12 grams, and 4.97 NTU for 14 grams. The primary finding of this experiment is that papaya has qualities that can reduce the amount of turbidity in water. In conclusion, papaya seeds have demonstrated their ability to function as a natural coagulant and to lessen water turbidity.
