The use of natural, low-cost coagulants on-site can help to solve problems like non-potable water usage and untreated wastewater discharges into receiving bodies. The Moringa oleifera seed is a natural treatment for coagulation. The goal of this research is to look at how effective moringa seeds as a natural coagulant are at removing turbidity at three different retention durations.
The investigation was conducted at the Federal University of Campina Grande’s Agricultural Products Storage Processing Laboratory. The powder produced when the seeds were triturated, as well as the seed without the bark, were employed. The application of the coagulant based on powder and moringa seeds was tested using a jar test. 0.5 g of clay was added to the jars of the jar test to create fake water. For 30 minutes, the Jar Test was attached to a 120 rpm rotation, then switched off and left to rest for 45, 53, and 61 minutes. Following that, roughly 50 mL water sample was taken from each pitcher for turbidity parameter study.
The seeds were more effective than the powder in terms of application. The elimination of turbidity was impacted by sedimentation periods.
Conclusion: The turbidity readings are higher than what is permitted under Brazilian law.
