Studying effect of water quality parameters on coagulation efficiency byMoringa Oleifera seeds

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance and efficiency of Moringaseeds from different sources on turbidity. A protein analysis test was done for each source; then two different methods of extraction were compared to examine the coagulation activity for the Moringa s active ingredient. The results of sodium chloride (NaCl) extraction in comparison to distilled water extraction of the Moringa oleifera seeds showed that the salt solution extraction technique was more efficient than the distilled water for extracting the active coagulant ingredient. The above mentioned findings were used to examine the effects of other parameters such as pH, calcium and magnesium hardness, bicarbonate-alkalinity, and salinity independently on turbidity removal with an optimum dosage of 1% NaCl extract of dry shelled Moringaseeds. The obtained results showed that the water quality parameters had no significant effect on the coagulation potential of the NaCl extract of the shelled Moringaseeds and was almost amenable to a wide range of water environment condition
