“…Consuming fluoride in excess can lead to many diseases including cancer, teeth damaging, respiratory problems, reduce pregnancy, softening of bones and damage to the kidney-livernervous system [1]. It is obvious that there are various alternate strategies available, but such conventional techniques either involve a high cost, low removal capacity, undesirable effects, generate excessive sludge or complex treatment procedures [3][4]. Additionally, most of the de-fluoridation techniques are neither proven nor trustworthy under field condition in developing agricultural nations.…”

“…Additionally, most of the de-fluoridation techniques are neither proven nor trustworthy under field condition in developing agricultural nations. Considering the genuine disadvantages, there is an extraordinary demand to build up an active, viable and environmental friendly adsorbent for the expulsion of fluoride from drinking water [4][5]. To this end, a large number of different adsorbents like macrophytes such as Eich horniacrassipes, fungi, algae and yeast have been explored as bio adsorbents [6].…”

Moringa Oleifera is considered to be a natural bio-adsorbent. Unlike chemical coagulants, Moringa Oleifera seeds are environment friendly with various other advantages. The present study investigated the fluoride removal efficiency of Moringa Oleifera from water. Influence of adsorbent dose (1, 2, 4 g/L), contact time (20, 40 and 60 min) and initial fluoride concentration (2 and 5 mg/L) over removal efficiency were determined and optimized. It was found that increased adsorbent dose and contact time enhanced the removal efficiency which is in agreement with the previous studies. The highest removal of 88.1% was achieved when the adsorbent dose and contact time were optimized to 4 g/L and 60 minutes with an initial fluoride concentration of 2 mg/L. The results showed that Moringa Oleifera can be used as an environment friendly, cheap and effective bio-adsorbent for fluoride removal from aqueous solution. All the experimental facilities were provided by Bio-Fuel Lab, Energy & Environment Department, Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology, Nawabshah, Pakistan. The samples were analyzed at the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR), Tando Jam, Pakistan.

“…In this context, Morocco focused on treating 60% of collected wastewater by 2020 [3]. Usually, the chemical coagulant of aluminium sulphate is broadly used in water treatment by the process of coagulation-flocculation which can be utilized as one of empowering forms [5][6][7]. However, the use of alum is linked with the negative environmental and human impacts; also, the generation of large volumes of sludge is very hazardous [8], [9].…”

“…The use seeds extracts of Moringa Oleifera as coagulant in water treatment which has been recommended in South Asian and African countries [21]. Several studies were reported Moringa Oleifera seeds extract with distilled water was used in coagulation process to water treatment [6]. Furthermore, the method of extract of Moringa Oleifera seeds with water is the most frequent because of low cost, its easy availability, and the watersoluble nature of the protein [22].…”

This research aimed to investigate the performance of seeds extract of Moringa Oleifera (MO) as an eco-friendly coagulant and an alternative practice in enhancing primary domestic wastewater effluent treatment by coagulation/flocculation, and sedimentation. The seeds of Moringa Oleifera were dried, crushed, and sieved, the content of oil was extracted with n-hexane as a solvent employing soxhlet apparatus (electro thermal) then used the residue as domestic wastewater coagulant. Jar tests were conducted for improve the primary treatment of domestic wastewater effluent from the wastewater plant of Ain Aouda city, Rabat, Morocco. For this reason, perform of coagulation tests was comparative with using aluminium sulphate (alum). Moringa Oleifera seeds extract at the optimal dose of 250 mg/L shows encouraging results, by comparison with the use of alum (150 mg/L). In reality, in terms of TSS reduction 95.5% and 96.8%, while turbidity reduction 97.5% and 98.1% were obtained for MO seeds extract and alum, respectively. But, the reduction rate of COD and BOD of Alum was somewhat higher than that of MO seeds extract 81.8% and 76.8% for COD, while were 75.5% and 72% for BOD respectively. Differently from alum, observed that increase in the extract of MO seeds dosage happened a slight change in pH value, decrease conductivity, and three times less bulky quantity of sludge than alum. For avoiding the numerous disadvantages associated with the use of chemical coagulants, the usage of Moringa Oleifera seeds extracts is recommended.

Moringa oleifera is an important medicinal plant in several countries, e.g. Nigeria, USA, Turkey, Germany, Greece, and Ukraine. The abundant bioactive and nutritional properties of this plant make it useful in many and diverse areas of life including the health, cosmetic, agricultural and food industries to mention but a few. Research has found out that the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, fatty acids, saponins, essential oils, folate, aromatic hydrocarbons, sterols, glucosinolates, glycosides among others characterise the Moringa‐ nutrient profile and as a result, give rise to its remedial effects on ailments such like wounds, stomach and duodenal ulcers, allergies, obesity, diabetics, inflammation, asthma, etcetera. It is the aim of this review to provide an insight into such medicinal and pharmacological remedies attributed to Moringa stating both the past and recent discoveries. This review article also takes a look into the botanical features, bioactive compounds, antinutrients, food applications, bacterial fermentation products, biosafety, industrial applications and other uses of Moringa. Finally, with belief that knowledge is progressive, we acknowledge that there are things yet undiscovered about this wonder plant that will be of value both to medicine and general life, we therefore recommend that research work continue on the plant Moringa.This article is protected by copyright.
