Main Article Content
Abstract
Industrial development significantly increases the volume of wastewater containing suspended solids, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants. This article analyzes contemporary coagulation-based technologies used in the treatment of industrial wastewater. The physicochemical mechanisms of coagulation and flocculation are examined, with particular focus on the efficiency of conventional inorganic coagulants and emerging natural coagulants. The study also evaluates the integration of coagulation with advanced physical and chemical treatment methods. Based on comparative analysis, practical recommendations are proposed to enhance treatment efficiency while ensuring environmental sustainability and rational water resource management.
