Assessment of powder myco-coagulant extracted from Phanerochaete concrescens for water treatment

Bio-coagulants are attracting current research interest because they are more environmentally friendly and safer than traditional chemical coagulants. However, the main challenge for bio-coagulants is the production in bulk quantities at a reasonable cost. The main purpose of this study was to inves...

description Bio-coagulants are attracting current research interest because they are more environmentally friendly and safer than traditional chemical coagulants. However, the main challenge for bio-coagulants is the production in bulk quantities at a reasonable cost. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of Phanerochaete concrescens to produce an effective bio-coagulant in powder form. The one-factor-at-a-time approach (OFAT) was performed to evaluate the capacity of the powdered myco-coagulant for various initial turbidities and coagulant doses. The morphological structure, functional groups and crystallinity of the bio-coagulant were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), respectively. The addition of 0.09-0.11 g of powder myco-coagulant led to the maximum elimination of turbidity from synthetic kaolin wastewater, which was 80 % from an initial turbidity value of 750±10 NTU.
