Abstract: The object of the study is the process of purifying natural waters using coagulants of natural and industrial origin. The subject of the study is the analysis of the effectiveness of coagulants of natural and industrial origin.Today, there is great interest in finding alternative methods of water purification that would be more economical and environmentally friendly. The availability of clean and safe water is especially important during times of martial law. Coagulants of natural origin can be an affordable and effective means of water purification and disinfection. One of the important advantages is availability, which indicates the possibility of becoming an alternative to chemical coagulants. Thus, there is a need to study the possibility of using natural coagulants both on an industrial scale and in emergency conditions.This study presents a characterization of existing coagulants of natural origin, an analysis of the effectiveness of their use, comparison with chemical analogues, as well as an analysis of the effectiveness of using Moringa oleifera as a natural coagulant.During the work, two coagulants were synthesized from red mud from aluminium production. A comparative analysis of coagulants synthesized from red mud, Moringaoleifera, aquatone and aluminiumsulphate was carried out. All reagents were used to remove turbidity and other impurities. The studies were carried out 3 times in different seasons of the year. All results were compared to determine the most effective coagulant and its dose.As a result, it was found that all of these coagulants can be used and reduce water treatment costs at local water treatment plants. The natural coagulant can be used in areas where there is no access to a central water supply, especially in war zones.
