Abstract
This study analyzed the effectiveness of banana and plantain ( Musa paradisiaca L.) as coagulants-flocculants in the treatment of raw water from the Guatapurí River (Cesar region, Colombia). The experimental design was completely randomized. Coagulating solutions with banana and plantain as organic solute were evaluated to treat raw water with different initial turbidity, analyzing their effect on the elimination of dissolved solids that provide turbidity, electrical conductivity and alkalinity. The results showed a significant turbidity removal up to 86.8% (banana) and 84.1% (plantain) when applying 10 ppm of coagulant for an initial turbidity of 250 NTU. When applying doses of 5, 20, and 75 ppm in water with an initial turbidity of 576 NTU, a significant elimination of turbidity was achieved (banana = 99.3, 98.5 and 98.5%; plantain = 99.3, 98.3 and 98.4%). It is concluded that the coagulating solutions with plantain and banana solutes allowed to eliminate the turbidity of the raw water of the Guatapurí river.
