Abstract

With the aim to establish clean and sustainable sludge treatment, green conditioning using natural flocculants has recently gained a growing interest. In this study, a variety of plant materials, namely Moringa (Moringa oleifera) seeds, Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds, Potato (Solanum tuberosum) peels, Aloe (Aloe vera) leaves, Cactus (Opuntia ficus indica) cladodes, and Phragmites (Phragmites australis) stems, were evaluated for their potential bioflocculant activity in conditioning sewage sludge. They were thoroughly characterized to determine their active flocculating compounds. Sludge dewaterability was evaluated by assessing various sludge parameters, including specific resistance to filtration (SRF), dryness of filtration cake (DC), and total suspended solid removal (TSS) from sludge filtrate. The collected results from various physicochemical characterizations of plant materials suggest that the main flocculating agents are carbohydrates in Cactus and Fenugreek and proteins in Moringa, Potato, and Phragmites. Additionally, all tested plant-based flocculants demonstrated effective dewatering performance. Interestingly, compared to the chemical flocculant polyaluminum chloride, Moringa and Cactus showed superior conditioning effects, yielding the lowest SRF values and the highest DC. As a result, the use of these natural flocculants improved sewage sludge filterability, leading to a significant removal of total suspended solids from the filtrate. The conditioning properties of Moringa and Cactus can be attributed to their high protein and sugar content, which facilitates the effective separation of bound water from solids through charge neutralization and bridging mechanisms. Thus, green conditioning using plant-based flocculants, particularly Moringa and Cactus materials, presents a promising and eco-friendly approach to enhance sewage sludge dewatering for safer disposal and valorization.

7. Insight on an Eco-Friendly Flocculation Using Cactus Extracts: Synthetic Dye and Heavy Metals Removal

Author

Othmani, Bouthaina and Khadhraoui, Moncef

Abstract

Abstract: Over these last years, there is no doubt that the conventional chemical flocculants commonly used for wastewater treatment have been a source of serious human health threats and environmental damage. Consequently, safe and eco-friendly substitutes are worth looking for and assessing. Within this line, flocculants derived from cactus namely, cladodes juice (CJ), powders of lyophilized (CLP) and oven-dried (CDP) cladodes, were developed as alternatives to the noxious synthetic ones. The flocculating activity of these three extracts was evaluated in treating a synthetic Disperse Blue-1 (DB-1) dye solution and a real industrial effluent loaded with heavy metals. A prominent DB-1 removal of up to 80% was achieved using CJ, CLP and CDP. Significant colour and turbidity reductions (94%) were attained using only 20 mg/L of CLP. Likewise, the cactus bio-flocculants complementing alum as a coagulant ensured an enhanced Zn removal from the industrial wastewater. For instance, both CLP and CDP allowed salient Zn uptake exceeding 99% against 69% using the CJ formula. The slight disparity in the flocculating activity between these three formulations could be ascribed to their preparation procedures affecting the integrity of their active agents (polysaccharides and chiefly polygalacturonic acid). Further, it is thought that the presence of hydroxyl (–OH) and carboxyl (–COOH) groups on this latter’s backbone confers the cactus extracts a notable flocculating ability regardless of the type of water pollutants. The plausible flocculation mechanisms for DB-1 molecules and Zn removal are assumed to be adsorption-bridging and adsorption-charge neutralization, respectively.
