“…A positive feature of this study is that it was based on studies in Brazil and other countries in which the authors showed the effectiveness of moringa seeds in the treatment surface waters (13,23,26,27,28,29) . Furthermore, this study is a novel one as there are to our knowledge no studies on the use of moringa seeds with water from the Negro River in the São Gabriel da Cachoeira region.…”

The poor quality of water intended for human consumption is one of the problems that has led to the appearance of several human diseases. The seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam. Can be used as a sustainable and low-cost alternative for water treatment. The aim of this study was to develop alternative methods of treating water for human consumption through the use of Moringa oleifera seeds. Water samples were collected at four points along the Negro River, in the state of Amazonas, for treatment with moringa seeds and simplified filtration systems. The samples were subjected to five types of treatment and compared to untreated samples and drinking water parameters, established by the Ministry of Health. Significant differences were observed in the following physical and chemical parameters of treated and untreated water: color, turbidity, dissolved solids total hardness, total alkalinity, electrical conductivity and ammonia content. The results suggest the possibility that moringa seeds can be used to produce better quality water for human consumption, especially in the case of people living in indigenous communities far from urban areas and without access to any type of water treatment.

“…La M. Oleifera es una planta milagrosa, con enormes potencialidades (Adewumi & Samson, 2018). Lopes et al (2015), Oliveira et al (2018) y Keogh et al (2017) reportaron que la semilla de "moringa" tiene potencial como agente coagulante y puede ser utilizada como clarificador para diferentes tipos de aguas residuales con diversos grados de turbidez. En experimentos específicos, Lopes et al (2015) utilizaron aguas con diferentes grados de turbidez inicial (70, 250 y 400 NTU -unidades nefelométricas de turbidez), demostrando que el extracto de moringa logra remover la turbidez en un 89,5%, 95,5% y 97,5%, respectivamente.…”

Technological progress in the agro-industrial field increases the amount of wastewater that, without being treated, pollutes the environment. Thus, the objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of moringa seed cake (Moringa oleifera Lam.) in the clarification of residual water, from the production of passion fruit nectar, using the jar test method, with concentrations of moringa cake of 5, 12.5 and 20 g/l, with stirring times of 10, 35 and 60 minutes for the extraction of the crude extract; and, doses of crude extract of moringa cake of 125, 175 and 225 mg/l. The greatest removal of turbidity from the residual water was obtained with 20 g/l of crude extract of moringa cake, with stirring times for the extraction of the crude extract of 35 and 60 minutes. Likewise, the dose of 125 mg/l presented the greatest reduction in turbidity by 82%. The results obtained in the research demonstrate that “moringa” cake is useful for treating wastewater produced in the production of passion fruit nectar, minimizing the turbidity of wastewater, resulting in a reduction in the environmental impact of effluents.

“…Moringa oleifera seeds have positively charged proteins which allow it to attract negatively charged particles such as clays, silts, among others, forming clots/ floccles that later settle (Amagloh and Benang, 2009). This protein allows the reduction of the amount of microorganisms and suspended particles, resulting in the removal of turbidity, color and total coliforms without changing the pH (Oliveira et al, 2018).…”

Chemicals in water treatment are efficient, but they can bring problems to health and the environment, in addition to the possibility of corroding distribution pipes. Moringa oleifera L. grains contain a cationic protein that can be used in water treatment. The objective of the present work was to compare the efficiency of different dosages of the natural coagulant based on Moringa oleifera L. cake with the chemical coagulant based on aluminum sulphate. The preparation of the natural coagulant was done by saline extraction with NaCl, and the chemical coagulant was at a concentration of 5% m/v. The Jar Test was performed with different dosages of natural coagulant and with a single dosage of chemical coagulant to evaluate the efficiency in removing the turbidity and color parameters, in addition to verifying the pH variation. Treatments T1 (chemical coagulant), T4, T5 and T6 (natural coagulant) were statistically similar in terms of turbidity removal efficiency. For color, treatments T1, T5 and T6 were statistically similar. In conclusion, the natural coagulant prepared from Moringa oleifera L. cake can be a great alternative in water treatment, and can be improved.
