| contents | In developing countries, access to clean water is a critical challenge, and chemical treatments are often too expensive or environmentally damaging. This study explores a sustainable alternative: waste water treatment using natural Moringa oleifera seed powder as a coagulant, combined with a natural filtration bed. Moringa seeds contain dimeric cationic proteins that effectively neutralize turbidity and act as a natural antimicrobial agent. By integrating this biological coagulation step with a multi-layered filtration bed (comprising sand, gravel, and charcoal), the system aims to provide a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and decentralized solution for purifying domestic wastewater. Preliminary results indicate significant reductions in turbidity, pH stabilization, and microbial load. This method proves highly suitable for rural areas due to its low cost, minimal technical requirement, and use of locally available organic materials. |
