The present document is a compilation-type monograph that identified the advances that have been developed between 2015 and 2020 in Latin America regarding the management of natural coagulants for the removal of turbidity in waters in order to analyze the efficiency of these products in water treatment processes in the clarification (coagulation and flocculation). The most commonly used chemical agents in water clarification processes are inorganic salts such as aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, sodium aluminate are also found polyelectrytes these are classified according to their load in cationic, Aniónicos, neutros(Guzmán, Villabona, Tejada, & Garcia, 2013) these agents present a high cost in the countries of Latin America since they have to be imported (Trujillo, and others, 2014) similarly, metal coagulants affect sludge generated in the water treatment process, which means that these wastes cannot be used as biosolids because they are very corrosive, change pH and electrical conductivity,chemical coagulants are related to negative effects on human health according to (Camacho, Campos, Mercado, & Cubilán, 2019) Neuropathological and epidemiological studies have evidenced the relationship between the residual aluminum of drinking water with Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive impairment (Olivero, Mercado, & Montes, 2013). Due to the above, the use of natural coagulants has taken in recent years a great importance as a technology to achieve the reduction of turbidity, color and organic matter without leaving any type of metallic residue that may come to affect health (Meza, Riaño, Martínez , Olivero , & Jurado, 2018);Among the advantages presented by the different natural coagulants is the presence of antimicrobial properties, in addition these are biodegradable, have a low cost and are safe for the environment (Másmela & Aguilar, 2017), these coagulating agents can be of plant and animal 12 origin, where the use of leaves, bark, roots, seeds of plant species stands out (Camacho, Campos, Mercado, & Cubilan, 2019) since they are proven to have high presence of polysaccharides and starch. The effectiveness of natural polymers in coagulation depends on their concentration, the amount of coagulant as this can cause a load reversal, and therefore a low level of organic load removal. Similarly the characteristics of the water to be treated and the parameters of the process such as pH, speed and mixing time slow and fast , temperature, sedimentation time have influence on the percentage of turbidity removal of natural coagulants (Trujillo et al, 2014). That is why the research was done using the repositories of universities at the level of Latin America and the databases where scientific articles were taken into account, grade work among others in order to identify the main natural coagulants used in Latin America, and the variables of the coagulation process that affect the effectiveness of natural coagulants in the removal of turbidity.
