The aqueous extract from pomegranate peel (AEPP) was used to remove Microcystis aeruginosa. The flocculating properties of the natural flocculant from pomegranate peel to M. aeruginosa were investigated, which included the factors (i.e., the particle size of the pomegranate peel, the ratio of the material to the solvent, the addition of the natural flocculant, membrane pore size and density algae) influencing the removal of the algae from solutions. The removal efficiencies of algae were found to be significantly different with the pore sizes of the used membranes for filtration. The particula...
