Abstract

Moringa oleifera (MO) seeds have a protein with positive charges which act as cationic polyelectrolyte and active substances; rhamnosyloxy benzyl isothiocyanate. These substances are useful to reduce and adsorb pollutants and dyes in textile wastewaters. However, the use of MO seeds as a coagulant is inadequate to improve the wastewater quality. Therefore, in this study, the coagulation performance was improved by the addition of anionic polyarcylamide (PAM). Results revealed that the combination of MO+PAM showed a better performance than MO only. The removal efficiency of wastewater parameters enhanced to 88.83%, 80.58%, 19.90%, and 5.86% for dye, TSS, BOD, and COD, respectively. The addition of PAM in MO coagulant also assisted in reducing the settling time significantly (30 min). Furthermore, SEM images proved that dye solid and MO seeds combine to create clumps or flocs. Then, dye substances were drawn or trapped by the porous nature of the charge-containing MO seeds.  As a whole, the use of MO+PAM give a new notion in treating textile wastewater quality.

Abstract

The issue of organic waste, which predominantly originates from households and is also generated by educational institutions such as schools, has the potential to cause environmental impacts if not managed properly. Organic waste holds significant potential to be processed into eco enzyme, which has various benefits. Recognizing this potential, this community service program aimed to empower the community at Pondok Pesantren At Tauhiid, Indralaya, South Sumatra, through eco enzyme production training. The methodology employed in this activity included lectures and direct practical training. The program results indicated a 60% increase in understanding regarding eco enzyme production after participating in the training, which utilized leftover fruit and vegetable waste. This program is expected to serve as a community empowerment model for independent organic waste management, particularly within educational institution environments.
