Abstract
Em diversos trabalhos têm sido comprovadas eficientes remoções na turbidez de águas quando se utiliza extrato de sementes de moringa (Moringa oleifera) como agente coagulante. No tratamento de esgoto sanitário, o grande inconveniente do uso deste coagulante é o requerimento de grandes quantidades de sementes. Uma alternativa para redução na quantidade necessária no preparo do extrato é o tratamento primário da água residuária em filtros orgânicos, removendo-se, assim, frações mais grosseiras dos sólidos nela contidos. Com o objetivo de avaliar essa possível redução na demanda de sementes para tratamento de esgoto sanitário, o esgoto doméstico bruto foi passado em filtro orgânico de serragem de madeira. Em amostras do efluente do filtro, foram adicionadas diferentes alíquotas de extrato de sementes de moringa, de forma a se obter concentrações de 0-3,2 g de sementes trituradas em cada litro de efluente do filtro. Negando a hipótese formulada, o aumento na concentração do coagulante proporcionou aumento na turbidez do efluente do filtro, tendo havido inativação do poder coagulante da proteína da semente de moringa por algum constituinte solubilizado do material filtrante.
Several studies showed effective turbidity removal from water when using moringa seed extract (Moringa oleifera) as a coagulating agent. In the treatment of sewage, a major inconvenience of using this natural coagulant is the application of large quantities of the seed. One alternative for reducing the amount of seeds needed to prepare the coagulant extract is primary treatment of sewage in organic filters, thus removing the coarser fractions of the contained solids. In order to evaluate the possible reduction in seed demand for wastewater treatment, it was passed through an organic filter packed with sawdust. In samples of the filter effluent, aliquots of different seed extracts were added to obtain the concentrations of 0-3.2 g of powdered seeds per liter of effluent from the filter. In contrast to the formulated hypothesis, increase in concentration of the coagulant increased the turbidity of the effluent from the filter. In some ways, soluble constituents of the filter material were able to inactivate the protein coagulant of the crushed seeds.
