Experimental Investigation On Municipal Wastewater Treatment By Using Murraya koenigii Leaves As A Coagulant

摘要

A physico-chemical parameter imparts a great impact on wastewater treatment. In this present study, an attempt has been captious to appraise the potency of locally available Murraya koenigii (curry leaves) leaf powder as natural coagulation for reduction of physical parameters to enhance the peculiarity of municipal water. The tests were consummate using municipal wastewater with the conventional jar test apparatus. The dosing of water soluble extract of Murraya koenigii leaf powder ash showed a reduction in the concentration of physico-chemical parameters in municipal wastewater. The various ages of Murraya koenigii leave carried out during the wastewater treatment are 5 days, 10 days, 20 days and 30 days dried under sunlight. It brought to notice that natural coagulant worked finer with turbid water. The physico-chemical parameters reduction efficiency of about 76.13% was observed from the analysis. Influence of the pH also plays an important part in the efficient removal of parameters. Use of locally available Murraya koenigii leaf powder ash as natural coagulant was found to be suitable, easier, cost effective and eco-friendly for municipal wastewater treatment process. Optimal mixing ardour and duration were determined.
