Abstract
Moringa oleifera MO is a multipurpose medium or smallsized tree from regions of northwest India and indigenous to many parts of Asia Africa and South America Its pods have been employed as an inexpensive and effective sorbent for the removal of organics and coagulant for water treatment It is a nontoxic natural organic polymer The main objective of this work was to use the MO seeds as a natural adsorbent for the treatment of dairy industry wastewater DIW The effects of agitation time pH MO biomass dose and DIW concentration were evaluated Removal efficiencies of up to 98 for both color and turbidity were reached using 02 g MO and 02 L of 10 g/L sorbate solution DIW The obtained results showed that MO seed keeps its adsorption power under a pH range between 5 and 8 The adsorption data was fitted to Langmuir isotherm There was a significant uptake capacity of MO biomass qmax which suggested a good affinity between DIW components and sorbent We conclude that the MO biomass has the potential to be used in the dairy industry wastewater treatment in an efficient way and with low cost
