Abstract
Mostly the waste water arising out of textile industries are matching the inorganic industrial waste water
condition, in this research an attempt is made at finding the efficiencies of powdered natural coagulant alternative to the
use of synthetic chemicals to treat the waste water of textile industry. The result obtained by adding M.oleifera proved
that the plant can be use for the treatment of turbidity and transmittance in textile industry waste water. The results
obtained when the natural coagulant combined with alum were much better. It is found that nearly 97% removal of
turbidity is achieved during this study and also 95% transmittance level is achieved, also complete odour removal is
obtained by the coagulation process. Hence Moringa oleifera can be effectively used as a coagulant aid with any
chemical coagulant like alum for treatment of waste water from dying industries.
