Abstract:

The coagulation of the suspended material in water is essential before consumption. In such a case, Coagulants have a major concern in the process of purification of water. Moringa seed is such a naturally occurring coagulant. The coagulant of such kind may not replace Alum but be an alternative at times of crisis. Places where Alum may not be available, a bio-coagulant like the seeds of Moringa oleifera play a vital role. For developing countries it might be more effective as most of those are to take surface water for usage and that becomes polluted easily. This type of coagulant can be prepared easily and applied conveniently. Because of low cost in processing, it can be a used in developing country.
