The aim of this work is the investigation of a natural organic coagulant for the pretreatment of olive oil mill wastewater (OMW), aiming to replace conventional metal-based coagulants. The goal was to produce healthy OMW that could potentially be reused in several fields of application such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Chitosan was selected as a model natural organic coagulant, and the coagulation process was optimized by examining various interaction conditions such as agitation and temperature. The results showed high efficiency of chitosan interaction, with maximum removal rates of iron, copper, and phosphorus reaching 86.84%, 82.14%, and 43.47%, respectively. The optimal performance was achieved by using chitosan in an agitated reaction at a temperature of 45°C.
