Moringa oleifera seed derivatives as natural bio-coagulants in water treatment process

River water in many parts of the world used for drinking purpose after some treatments. Consequently, the turbidity in untreated water is often conventionally removed by treating the water with expensive chemicals, many of which are not environmentally friendly. In fact, using chemicals materials in...
