The objective of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of Opuntia ficus-indica as a natural coagulant in the treatment of gray wastewater. The research is experimental and of explanatory scope that consists of collecting gray water to elaborate a block sample design and its subsequent testing in the jar test equipment; different doses of coagulant powder were applied after the process of collection, reduction, drying, grinding of the stalk and sieving of the flour. As a result, 1.625 g/l was obtained as the optimum dose of natural coagulant for the treatment of graywater, with which grea...

The research is experimental and of explanatory scope that consists of collecting gray water to elaborate a block sample design and its subsequent testing in the jar test equipment; different doses of coagulant powder were applied after the process of collection, reduction, drying, grinding of the stalk and sieving of the flour. As a result, 1.625 g/l was obtained as the optimum dose of natural coagulant for the treatment of graywater, with which greater efficiency was achieved in the removal of pollutants; thus, for turbidity 90%, TSS 83%, BOD 74%, COD 38% and Nitrite 73%; it is concluded that Opuntia ficus-indica as a natural coagulant is efficient for the treatment of graywater and its subsequent use.
