STUDY ON THE UTILIZATION OF ALUM AND MORINGA OLEIFERA IN WASTE WATER TREATMENT
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The utilization of Alum and Moringa oleifera in the treatment of waste water was study comparing between the Moringa oleifera (MO) and Alum was conducted to obtain an insight into the various bacteria associated with wastewater obtained from two different beverages (coca cola and 33) companies in Owerri, Imo State thereby utilizing Moringa oleifera and Alum as natural coagulant for the treatment of waste water samples collected from beverage companies. The predominant organisms in the wastewater were Pseudomonas sp. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. and Bacillus sp. processing the waste water by coagulation using M. oleifera and Alum as natural coagulant showed that the treatment with M. oleifera provided additional advantage of reduced total microbes but in both cases the treated water met WHO water guidelines. MO is found to be a sustainable solution for coagulation and reduction in the microbial load of waste water before its disposal.
