Coagulants were evaluated for reduction of turbidity and toxicity of Cavouco stream water.
The treatments used aluminum sulfate (AS) and water-soluble Moringa oleifera seed lectin (WSMoL) both separated and together.
Treatment using AS followed by WSMoL was the most effective in reducing turbidity.
The use of WSMoL after AS treatment decreased the residual aluminum concentration.
Reduction of ecotoxicity was also detected in water treated with AS and WSMoL.
