Abstract
Domestic effluent is highly complex and is characterized by high B.O.D, C.O.D, suspended solids, total solids, and colour. Untreated domestic effluent when discharged directly in to water bodies or in to the open lands cause damage to the environment.In the present scenario, due to the increase in population, a high demand for water resources and water reuse has surfaced in both urban and rural areas. The inflated industrial activities augmented the water requirement multifold as well as the quantity of waste water discharged. This up heaved the importance of treating the domestic as well as industrial wastewater in a higher degree and reusing it for all uses except drinking and other domestic needs. In this work, an attempt has been made to treat domestic wastewater using a bio coagulant- MoringaOleifera seeds. MoringaOleifera seeds are famous for its properties as a natural coagulant, adsorbent and antimicrobial agent. Beans seed powder are also found to be possessing most of these properties.
