Abstract: The aim of this study was to clarify drinking water. According to the results obtained from monitoring the turbidity of the water, the clarification efficiency increases up to a value of 50% and then stabilises at 378 K when heat alone is used. In addition, the tests carried out showed that the higher the temperature and the longer the treatment time, the greater the clarification efficiency of the polluted water up to the point of equilibrium. In addition, the addition of orange peel activated carbon (ACOP) to the tests demonstrated that ACOP improves water clarification efficiency. It was observed that there is an optimum temperature at which the efficiency becomes significantly stable (i.e., 92.5%) for a temperature of 373 K.
