Abstract

Moringa oleifera is a miracle tree with potential and its cultivation is actively promoted by Indian Government. Moringa Seeds powder is used to clarify turbid, dirty water. Research shows that the seed not only settles the mud, but can carry with it over 90% of Microorganisms. Seeds of this tree used for wastewater treatment. Based on this, water quality of Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) Pond Water was examined before and after the treatment using Moringa Seed oil cake. Moringa oleifera seed oil cake reduced the, Turbidity, pH, Total Solid, Total Dissolve Solid, Total Suspended Solids, Colour, Odour, and microbial growth (CFU) for the pond water samples. It was found that the moringa seed oil cake combination with different adjutants shows treatments was effectively reduce physicochemical (Turbidity, pH, Total Solid, Total Dissolve Solid, Total Suspended Solids, Colour, Odour) and biological parameters (microbial growth (CFU)). This primary result confirms the great potential of Moringa oleifera seed oil cake in wastewater treatment applications.
