Description

Exchanging ideas is an important driving force for science and development. The health and environmental needs for clean water are evident but the availability is often challenging. The seeds of Moringa oleifera have been used to flocculate impurities but are primarily exploited on a village scale. Understanding how this process works has provided for a range of scattering, reflection, and diffraction experiments to complement other studies. Apart from assisting the development of water treatment, a number of basic insights into adsorption, floc structure and interaction with various pollutants emerge.
