Abstract

A research into the production and application of moringa-aluminate for water treatments as a facile biochemical coagulant was carried out. In this research work, coagulating materials from Moringa oleifera and Alum, (moringa-aluminate), for purifying water were developed and used to treat different samples of raw water from Gurara Dam in Gurara, Lower Usman Dam in Abuja, Chanchaga Dam in Minna and Bosso Dam in Minna. The quality of the treated water was subsequently determined. Parameters such as pH, turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen, Colour, Conductivity, TDS and temperature were determined from the treated water samples. The results of the analysis for the treated water show that pH and turbidity, which are important parameters were averagely reduced by 94% with moringa-aluminate, 91% with Moringa oleifera seed powder and 95% with Alum.
