Use of Natural Coagulants (Moringa Oleifera) for Drinking Water Treatment

Abstract

In developing countries, getting access to cheap and clean drinking water is still a major problem. The present study aims to examine the drinking water treatment efficiency of natural coagulants, specifically Moringa Oleifera. Synthetic water was prepared to check the efficiency of Moringa Oleifera and was compared with alum. To assess these coagulants' effectiveness in removing turbidity under different circumstances, jar tests are performed. The results indicate to the great potential that Moringa oleifera shows for an affordable and sustainable method of treating water.
