The present study aimed to investigate potential of Moringa oleifera and Cicer arietinum seeds for the treatment of public market wastewater in comparison to Alum and FeSO4. The flocculation process was assessed as a function of adsorbent dose (60–360 mg/L), pH (4 to 9) and mixing rate (50 to 300 rp...
