چکیده

This study is on the reuse of the residue generated by a Moringa oleifera oil extraction plant. The residual oil cake produced during the process of oil extraction retains the positively charged protein of the M. oleifera seed, which is the active component in the process of 15 attracting and capturing suspended particles in waters. Such coagulant–flocculant properties give rise to the elimination of turbidity in the process of water purification. In the cases studied, it has been demonstrated that the same amount (100 mg/L) of aluminum sulfate coagulant and M. oleifera coagulant is required to reduce water turbidity to levels within the International guidelines (<5 NTU). A life cycle analysis (LCA) is also presented in which the 20 coagulant obtained from M. oleifera is compared with conventional chemical coagulants. The energy consumption per kg of aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) produced is almost 40% greater than M. oleifera-based coagulant. Furthermore, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with alum are 80% higher than those of the M. oleifera-based coagulant. In addition to turbidity removal, with lower energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions, the coagulant 25 derived from the residual oil cake does not provoke any alterations to water pH or conductivity and, therefore, does not require any additional readjustment of these parameters.

Valorization of Waste Obtained from Oil Extraction in Moringa Oleifera Seeds: Coagulation of Reactive Dyes in Textile Effluents

Moringa oleifera seeds contain about 40% of highly valued oil due to its wide range of applications, from nutritional issues to cosmetics or biodiesel production. The extraction of Moringa oil generates a waste (65%-75% of seeds weight) which contains a water soluble protein able to be used either in drinking water clarification or wastewater treatment. In this paper, the waste of Moringa oleif...

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae were removed from clear and turbid water by flocculation with Sudanese bentonite clays, with Moringa oleifera seeds as well as with pure bentonite. The flocculation technique employed corresponds to that used to clarify Nile water in Sudanese villages. Moringa seeds, pure bentonite and one type of bentonite clay were able to reduce the number of cercariae by more t...
