Application of Moringa Oleifera Seed Powder For Iron (III) Coagulation on Local Water Resources

Abstract

This paper reports the potential application of moringa seed’s powder as iron coagulant to improve source of drinking water quality. Moringa seed powder was studied by optimizing the coagulation of iron toward variation of mass from moringa seed’s powder and precipitation time. Water sample was taken from local water sources in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The result gives a high potential application for moringa’s seed powder as coagulant for iron in local drinking water sources
