Abstract

Turbidity is caused by particles suspended or dissolved in water. High turbidity can significantly reduce the aesthetic quality of lakes and streams, having a harmful impact on our lives. Many aluminium salts are used to treat turbidity problem .The use of aluminium based coagulants has raised great concern about the release of aluminium into the effluent. Aluminium is linked with alzhmeir' disease as well as carcinogenic properties. This study focuses on the use of more ecofriendly and better option in the form of flower of Nelumbo nucifera. Highly turbid water was treated with Alum sulfate and the flower powder of Nelumbo nucifera and observed. The flower powder of Nelumbo nucifera was found to be more effective at higher concentrations.
