Efficacy of Moringa oleifera Seed Husk as Adsorptive Agent for Trihalomethanes from a Water Treatment Plant in Southwestern, Nigeria

Abstract: Trihalomethanes (THMs) are formed when excess chlorine during chlorination of water reacts with organic material in water. They have mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. Moringa oleifera (MO) has found wide acceptance by many people in Nigeria who have used it for food for both humans and fauna, for health purposes, and as a coagulant for water treatment. However, the seed husks are currently discarded as waste and they have not been used as adsorbent to remove THMs from water. The physicochemical properties… Show more

“…The observed decrease in the TOC levels in this study by an average of 67.0% -72.6% conflicts with certain reports of increased TOC following the application of MO seed-based coagulant [52]. Okoya et al [53], however, similar to the current study, recorded a higher value of about 88.9% TOC reduction during the treatment of wastewater using activated MO seed powder.…”

“…The WS were first thoroughly washed in a running tap water to remove debris and dust and then with deionized water, sun-dried to a constant weight, crushed and pulverized to increase the surface area for activated carbon production. The pulverized walnut shell of 456 g was then placed in a weighed clean-dried crucible, and put into a muffle furnace [Carbolite 12/65 tube furnace ESSEN (Germany)] at 700°C [22] for 1 hour and sieved to <150 μm particle size [23][24][25][26].…”
