The removal of pollutants from tannery wastewaters, which is renowned for its substantial volumes, intricate composition, and considerable hazards to human health and the environment, is a prominent research area in the field of water treatment. The aim of this study is to employ a bio-coagulant derived from seeds and a bio-flocculant derived from to minimise the concentration of pollutants in the combined wastewater originating from tanneries. In the course of the research, a thorough physicochemical analysis of the coagulating and flocculating agents, (PA) and (HE), was performed using techniques such as XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), and SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy).

Urolithiasis is defined as a disease diagnosed by the presence of one or more stones in the urinary tract. It is one of the oldest and most widespread diseases known to man, their discovery and characterisation chronology began with the civilisation's history. This pathology has a multifactorial aetiology, very frequent worldwide with geographic and racial variation, their prevalence is increasing in lockstep with socioeconomic development.

In the current study, phytochemical screening was carried out as well as an investigation of the antilithiatic and antioxidant activities of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of this plant. The results showed that aqueous and ethanolic extracts were effective in reducing cystine stone mass and that the aqueous extract of Saussurea costus (Falc) Lipsch had the highest percentage of dissolution (6.
