Abstract
Moringa seeds are known to contain an antimicrobial substance, which gets rid of microorganisms that suppresses growth. This investigatory project aims to prove that Moringa seeds can be used to purify contaminated water. The benefits of this investigatory project is that the purified water may be used in our everyday lives, may help in the preservation of water, fewer expenses would occur and adds knowledge towards the purification of water. In this experiment, Moringa seeds, a mortar, a clean cloth and water will be used to conduct the experiment.
When the experiment was conducted, two (2) Moringa seeds were used per trial. The whitish kernel fluid, found inside the Moringa seeds, were crushed with the use of a mortar or stone until it resulted to having a powder texture. Mixed in a small cup, was the powder with a small quantity of clean water. The mixture was poured into the contaminated water that was intended to purify and was quickly stirred for about thirty (30) seconds then continued stirring the water after a few minutes. We observed the water every few minutes and recorded the data. The Moringa seeds took an hour long to purify the contaminated water which proves that Moringa seeds can be used to purify contaminated water.
