“…Acceptable limits of hardness in groundwater for public use should be in the range of 300-500 mg/L. Treatment with the combined extract resulted in a significant reduction in the hardness of the water sample, which was in accordance with previous literature [45,46].…”

Several parts of the Moringa oleifera plant have revealed incredible potential for water quality improvement. However, the purification potential of a combined leaf and seed extract of Moringa oleifera plants remains unexplored. To the best of our knowledge, this research would be the first to work towards exploiting the combined potential of a leaf and seed extract of the Moringa oleifera plant in the process of water purification. In this study, we investigated the combined effectiveness of the leaf and seed extract in the purification of groundwater. The jar test method was used to analyze the effectiveness of Moringa plant extract (in combination) on different quality parameters of groundwater. Treatment with the combined plant extract (seed and leaf) resulted in significant improvement of various physicochemical (hardness, pH, turbidity, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), and metallic impurities) and biological parameters (E.coli count) over individual seed and leaf extracts in groundwater samples. Experimental findings have strongly shown the enhanced purification efficacy of the hexane extract of combined plant materials in comparison to the individual extracts, thereby providing us with a potent natural coagulant that could combat the side effects of chemical coagulants.

“…Moreover, the natural coagulants also showed better results than the chemically treated coagulant due to M. oleifera , which had established the higher coagulants capacity of organic matter. A decrease in COD values in chemically treated MOSP may be due to the protein and natural organic compounds present in the seeds ( Nhut et al., 2020 ). The possible mechanisms by which the organic matter from sewage water samples has been removed by bio-coagulant from M. oleifera are dominated by adsorption and charge neutralization ( Nonfodji et al., 2020 ).…”

“…The coagulants prepared from the M. oleifera seed primary mechanism of coagulants and interparticle bonds play a significant role in the coagulation process ( Teh et al., 2016 ) due to the long-chain molecular structure that allow for the coagulation of organic matter from the sewage water. As a result, MOSPs have shown tremendous efficiency for reducing dissolved oxygen (DO, BOD, COD) in sewage wastewater ( Nhut et al., 2020 ). Thus, the present study revealed that the MOSP is an alternative, cheaper, and eco-friendly coagulant than chemical coagulants (i.e., aluminium sulfate) to treat environmental pollutants such as municipal sewage water.…”

“…The ability of Scallop shells were used as natural coagulant for water turbidity removal (Siswoyo et al 2021). In another research, the authors tested the effectiveness of the Moringa oleifera seeds as bio-coagulant for surface water turbidity treatment (Nhut et al 2021). Hexane, Saline and Crude were extracted from Kenaf plant seed for determining a reliable coagulation to remove organic matter (Okoro et al 2021).…”

For turbidity removal, most of drinking water treatment plants are using coagulants due to the presence of suspended and colloidal materials at the coagulation and flocculation units. Aluminium and sulphates salts are the widely used coagulants, such as Aluminium sulphate (Alum) and ferric chloride. However, several researches have linked Alzheimer's disease to the use of Aluminium sulphate. Hence, scholars have conducted several researches on the possibility to reduce the amount of Aluminium sulphate by using natural material/plants base as coagulant aids. In this study, Mallow's Leaves Extracts (MLE) and Carob's Pods Extracts (CPE) were used as an alternative coagulant aid. Couples of coagulation tests were implemented to find the optimal dosage of Aluminium Sulphates were used as coagulants. The results displayed that the maximum turbidity removal efficiency by adding 100% of each coagulant (i.e., Alum, MLE and CPE) were (61.16%, 51.175% and 37.12%), respectively. In addition, the minimum residual turbidity and maximum turbidity removal efficiency were 4.56 NTU and 97.72% by adding 22.5 Alum and 7.5 MLE presenting 30 mg/l dosing. Further, the minimum residual turbidity and maximum turbidity removal efficiency were 15.4 NTU and 92.3% by adding 22.5 Alum and 7.5 CPE presenting 30 mg/l dosing.
