Synopsis

This study explores the application of Moringa Oleifera (MO) seed in water and wastewater treatment and dye removal. We have collected lake water and exposed it with different dosing of MO and found that 500 ppm dosing with original, Low pH of 3 and high pH of 11 of lake water sample show turbidity removal from 65 NTU to low as 2 NTU. MO found to be suitable for the dye removal, 15 ppm dye concentration of Brilliant green dye was removed with 15 minutes of stirring with 500 ppm dosing of MO. We noticed that MO treatment of lake water at natural pH increases the bacterial population of lake water in manifolds when it kept for overnight. For disinfection of lake water, we use US and UVC, combination of US and UVC provides complete disinfection within 20 minutes.
