Reduction in Heavy Metals and Microflora of Potable Water of Gwalior Region with the Application of Plant Extracts
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
This study was aimed to improve the quality of drinking water of municipal supply of Gwalior region (M.P.) with the application of plant extracts of Moringa oleifera, Vigna unguiculata (cowpeas), Vigna mungo (urad) and Zea mays (corn). Analysis of treated and untreated sample water for heavy metals and microbial counts was performed. The results showed the significant decreased, up to 90% in the reduction of microbial counts. It also helped in the coagulation of the heavy metals like lead, copper, nickel etc. present in the treated water samples. It has been examined that seeds and leaves extracts were also more effective in clearing and in sedimentation of suspended organic and inorganic matter present in water samples. In control water samples, total bacterial count (TBC) was 1200 cfu / ml but the total bacterial count in the treated samples was reduced to 30 cfu / ml. 95% of heavy metals were also removed in treated samples. This work evaluates the use of plants, which are an economical and eco-friendly.
