Performance of myco-coagulant from lentinus squarrosulus for turbidity reduction in a settling column
Coagulation and flocculation are integral basic unit processes for conventional water treatment plants. Usually, chemical coagulants are used in most of the treatment plants. However, the search for natural bio-coagulants is ongoing to reduce the negative impacts of chemical coagulants on human heal...

Coagulation and flocculation are integral basic unit processes for conventional water treatment plants. Usually, chemical coagulants are used in most of the treatment plants. However, the search for natural bio-coagulants is ongoing to reduce the negative impacts of chemical coagulants on human health and the environment. In this research, a natural bio-coagulant from a local fungus (Lentinus squarrosulus) was produced. The sedimentation process in river water by this myco-coagulant was investigated using a settling column. Kaolin suspension was used as synthetic turbid water for the settling column tests. Detention time and the overflow rate of the particles are necessary to design sedimentation basins for water treatment plants. As such, tests were conducted to plot the iso-removal lines for the kaolin particles. Such data is required to design sediment or settling basins for the water treatment facilities. Therefore, detention times and overflow rates of the kaolin particles were calculated for an optimum myco-coagulant dose of 1% (v/v).
