Applying chemical coagulants and auxiliary coagulants in wastewater treatment has becomemore popular in Vietnam. Although the efficacy of chemical coagulantshave been wellrecognized, there are disadvantages associated with the use of these products, such as the inefficiencyatlow temperatures, increasing the residual cation in solution, causing health problems and distribution water, relatively highcost,producing high volume of sludge. Thus,it is desirable to replace these chemical coagulants for products that do not generate such drawbacks, such as natural polymers. In this paper, the authors conducted experimentsby using natural auxiliary coagulants extracted from seeds of Cassia fistula (gumMHY) and chemical polymer as auxiliary coagulation to treat textile wastewater withbasic polluted parameters: pH= 9.0; COD = 800 mgO2/L, color = 750 Pt-Co. The Jartest experiment results showedthat the process efficiency of chemical polymer and gum MHYisnot so different, with the COD removal efficiencies of60.3%and59.7%; the color removal efficiencies of 87.3%and87.1%; the SS removal efficiencies of 93.2% and92.6%. There-fore, coagulants obtained from gumMHYcan beapplied asthe alternativesfor chemical polymer in the process of treating textile wastewater.
