OPTIMASI PENGGUNAAN KOAGULAN ALAMI BIJI KELOR (Moringa oleifera) PADA PENGOLAHAN LIMBAH CAIR MOCAF
Abstract: The use of moringa
plant seeds as a natural coagulant has economic value and environmental
friendly. They also can be used to purify water, so that the seeds were able to
decrease the pollution concentration of mocaf wastewater. The aim of this
research was to study the ability of moringa seeds, as a natural coagulant to
overcome mocaf wastewater pollution. The method was used
coagulation-flocculation with coagulant dosage range of 650 mg/l untill 1050
mg/l. The variables observed were turbidity, TSS, TDS and COD. The results
showed that the optimum coagulant dose and the optimum pH is 850 mg/l and pH 8
with 59,79% decreased levels of turbidity, 75,46% TSS reduction rate and 32,55%
COD reduction rate level. However the TDS values after treatment was greater
than the TDS value before. It can be conclude that the use of Moringa seed
powder was effective sufficiently as a coagulant for mocaf wastewater.
