Optimization of Using Moringa Oleifera Seed Powder as a Coagulant in the Treatment of Water Turbidity

Moringa Oleifera has a great potential in water treatment. Several researchers have reported on its various uses as a coagulant. Moringa oleifera seed was found, able to achieve 83% turbidity removal. The active ingredient in Moringa oleifera seeds is a polypeptide, which acts as cationic polymer. T...
