Dyes are produced naturally or artificially and
give different colour to fabrics. In this paper the
ability of moringo olifera in removing dyes has
been studied. At various concentrations of the
dye the absorbance value is noted using a
double beam UV spectrophotometer and a
calibration chart has been obtained.
Experiments were carried out for determining
the dye removal capacity using a powder
derived from Moringo oleifera seed. The
influences of several parameters such as pH,
initial dye concentration, moringo dosage and
the operating time have been tested. PH seems
be an interesting variable and colour removal
decreases as pH increases. The results show that
the colour removal efficiency is attained
maximum upto 99.9% using moringo as
coagulant
