The shortage of water resources in Saudi Arabia is becoming an increasingly serious problem. Management of sewage water is an attractive option to reduce the contamination of water resources such as ground water. This work aims to use bauxite rock as a low-cost adsorbent/coagulant for sewage water treatment in a simple and rapid technique. Different doses (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 g/l) of the grinded bauxite was used as an adsorbent/coagulant. The results revealed that, at rock doses of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 g/l, the COD concentration was decreased from 326 to 134, 98, 83, 70, and 65 mg/l, respectively, while the BOD concentration was lowered from 243 to 196, 104, 71, 60, 51, and 47 for the same rock doses. This was reflected on the turbidity of the treated effluent from each treatment step. Also, the FC counts were reduced to 2 log units. Furthermore, the dose of 3 g/l of the grinded bauxite rock was found to be the least economic dose for the treatment of sewage water. Bauxite mineral has been used explicitly in a high-performance, very affordable method for wastewater treatment.
