“…Both of the final temperatures after the addition of the coagulants used are in the limit of room temperature range. This is in line with the study from Hendrawati et al, [14] where in the research, the addition of Moringa oleifera in the water purification only reached 29.00°C at their highest from initial reading of 28.40°C. Thus, it was concluded in the study that the use of the coagulant in the process does not affect the water temperature drastically as their temperature is still in the normal range for water.…”

“…The conductivity value is also dependent on ions concentration in the water [14]. When Moringa oleifera was used, the results revealed that the use of excess Moringa oleifera above the optimum dosage results in the increase in the conductivity reading again believed to be caused by the unbound ions that present in the water [14]. Overall in the present research, Moringa oleifera coagulation process only has little influence on the degree of conductivity as they reacted as positively charged natural polymer coagulant.…”

Water for consumption purpose needs to be treated to meet the quality guidelines of 5 Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) according to World Health Organization. The main objective of this study is to compare Moringa Oleifera Lam. to that of aluminum sulphate in terms of treatment efficiency. The method is carried out using Jar Tests and raw data are analyzed using Microsoft Excel Office Professional Plus 2013 and Pearson Correlation. Results shown proved the ability of Morina oleifera to remove the total suspended solids in the water from 35.9 ± 1.65 NTU to 3.17 ± 0.3 NTU at optimum dosage of 15 mg/l while aluminum sulphate to 7.26 ± 2.13 NTU at dosage of 55 mg/l. The treatment efficiency of Moringa oleifera is also higher at 91.17% and aluminum sulphate is at 78.72%. Moringa oleifera resist changes in pH as final reading of the water sample increases from 5.67 ± 0.23 to 6.05 ± 0.03 while aluminum sulphate decreases to 3.43 ± 0.05 which indicates elevated acidity level. Conductivity reading of Moringa oleifera is constant at range of 113.33 ± 5.77 ևS while aluminum sulphate increased drastically from initial reading of 86.67 ± 5.77 ևS to 1120 ± 10.0 ևS. The final temperature is still at normal room temperature range after the addition of both coagulants at 22.07 °C to 24.97 °C. As a conclusion, a cheaper and safer coagulant such as Moringa oleifera as compared to aluminum sulphate can be established.

“…Coagulation is a well-known technique used to reduce the pollutant contents in the water body that are present as turbidity, colour and organic matters [5], [6] . It is used as a treatment aiming to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals such as paracetamol in the wastewater before it leaves as effluents [7].…”

Abstract. Pharmaceutical wastewater is one of the most difficult wastewater to treat due to the presence of pharmaceutical compounds resulting in high concentration of organic matter, high turbidity and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Chemical-based coagulation is a common method used to treat wastewater. However, the issue that has been raised with the use of chemical coagulants is their presence in water after treatment that can cause risks to the human health such as Alzheimer and cancer. Natural coagulants can be used as a safe alternative to these chemicals instead. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of H. Sabdariffa and J. Curcas as natural coagulants, separately and as a combination, on the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater. Jar test experiment were carried out where beakers of 0.5L wastewater were mixed with the coagulants. The pH of the wastewater was varied from 2 to 12 while the coagulant dosage was varied from 40 to 200 mg/L. It was found that H. Sabdariffa works best at pH 4 and at a coagulant dosage of 190 mg/L with a highest turbidity removal of 35.8% and a decrease of COD by 29%. J. Curcas was found to perform best at pH 3 and with a coagulant dosage of 200 mg/L with a highest turbidity removal of 51% and a decrease of COD by 32%. When J. Curcas and H. Sabdariffa were used in combination, the optimum composition was found to be 80% J. Curcas and 20% H. Sabdariffa by weight with a maximum turbidity removal of 46.8% and a decrease in COD by 46%. In comparison between the two natural coagulants, J. Curcas is found to be a better and more suited coagulative agent for the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater. The same experiment was carried with alum at pH 6 and coagulant dosage of 750 mg/L and a turbidity removal of 48% and a decrease in COD by 38% were recorded. In comparison with alum, J. Curcas was a better coagulant in treating the pharmaceutical wastewater. This shows that natural coagulants can be used to replace chemical coagulants in the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater.

“…So it is necessary to add material, such as lime, to increase alkalinity or pH of the water that will be coagulated using alum. As a result, the sludge that is produced through this process has a larger volume than the one produced by the coagulant M. oleifera seeds [11] 3.2.2. Reduction of pH At 95.0% confidence level, there was significant differrence (p < 0.001) among all the treatments at the varying loading dose concentrations on the pH.…”
