Abstract

In this study, the conventional coagulation-flocculation method was applied to treat a synthetic disperse blue 1 solution using safe and eco-friendly flocculants taken from cacti under three formulations namely cactus juice (CJ), a lyophilized powder (LP) and an oven-dried powder at 60°C (DP). The removal efficiency was evaluated in terms of colour abatement. All cactus formulations revealed an effective flocculating activity. The highest colour removal rate (97%) was achieved using the lyophilized powder (LP) followed by the oven-dried powder (88.43%) then, comes the cactus juice with 85.13%. Furthermore, these natural flocculants (CJ, LP and DP) showed similar performance compared to that of polyacrylamide. Research suggests that cactus extracts and chiefly the lyophilized powder are viable products and can be effective alternates to chemical flocculants to establish a new path toward green technology.
