This work is to evaluate the effectiveness of new alternatives for use with natural species of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seed angico red (Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speng) and seed-eye dragon (Adenanthera pavonina L.) also known as ‘falso angico’, sprayed with a particle size of 0.074 mm, sieving for water treatment as natural polymers, helping the flocculation on removal of main parameters in turbidity and color through tests in the scanner equipment using Jar Test static bench adding a chemical coagulant (aluminium sulfate). The powder of polymers were obtained after washing, drying, crushing, grinding, sieving, and used in the coagulation process, flocculation and sedimentation to test the efficiency of each one, when used alone and when used in conjunction with the chemical coagulant, followed by the analysis of physical-chemical parameters pH, turbidity, apparent color, true color and temperature. The results showed that the polymer of okra presented better efficiency in removing turbidity and color compared to the same doses used with other polymers considered and when reducing the dosage of coagulant used in conjunction with the polymers, it was observed a great removal of turbidity, especially with the conjunction of coagulant and polymer of okra, with the removal efficiency of 94% of turbidity and 98% of color with optimum dosage of okra equal to 1.0 mg/L and coagulant equal to 10 mg/L. Therefore it is possible to reduce the dosage of the coagulant when used in conjunction with the auxiliary flocculation, as the polymer of okra can be used for water treatment and facing the possibility of multiple economic and ecological uses in industry.
