Abstract

The population growth rate has been demonstrated to have a direct impact on the increase in pollutant concentrations released into water bodies. One of the pollutants that has been identified in water bodies is congo red. This necessitates the implementation of effective management strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of pollutants. A methodology that has been demonstrated to be effective in mitigating the impact of congo red is the coagulation-flocculation process. The objective of this study is to employ biocoagulants and magnetic biocoagulants derived from moringa oleifera as mass separation agents to mitigate the adverse effects of congo red. The effectiveness of the mass separation agents was evaluated with varying initial concentrations of congo red. The augmentation of the initial congo red concentration yielded consistent results for both biocoagulants and magnetic biocoagulants. The highest results were obtained at an initial congo red concentration of 100 ppm, with a value of 97.34% for the magnetic coagulant. The coagulation-flocculation process can occur through several mechanisms, including charge neutralization, floc formation, and sedimentation.
