Abstract

A biocoagulant was successfully hydroxyapatite extracted from bone of camel. The potential of HAP to act as a natural coagulant was tested for clarification we use distilled water that we did turbidity it. By mixing each 500 ml with 1 g of garden soil. Experimental tests were performed by jar test technic to evaluate the effects of turbidity concentration. The maximum turbidity removal was occurred at water when adding 0.8mg/l the optimum dosage of HAP. Results demonstrated that the HAP removed more than 95% of all initial turbidity concentrations (178–14 NTU). High bacteriological quality was achieved in the treated water. HAP as an eco-friendly biocoagulant was revealed to be a very efficient coagulant for removing turbidity from waters.
