3.2. Determination of the required dose of powdered seeds in the pouches Considering jars of 2 L capacity, it would take 20 mL of 2% coagulant solution for each 2 L jar for 65 NTU turbidity values (ARANTES, 2010). Based on the protein content of the coagulant solution and the recommended dosage, each pouch must provide the equivalent of 42.66 mg of protein. Once the average protein content of the paper pouch with 2 g of powder is 112.15 mg L -1 in 30 min of dispersion time and assuming that the relationship between protein content and powder dose is directly proportional, the powder dosing in each pouch must be approximately 0.76 g. Therefore, the doses of powdered seeds of Moringa oleifera in the pouches were 0.6 g, 0.8 g and 1.0 g in the clarification tests. 3.3. Clarification of synthetic turbid water The average results for turbidity and apparent color of the turbid synthetic water are shown in Tables 3 and 4, respectively. The results of Scott-Knott test with 5% significance concerning the comparisons for each dosage over time and between the dosages for each time are also shown.

The same capital letters should be interpreted as statistical similarity of the data in column. (**) Coagulant solution. The statistical analysis of Tables 3 and 4 showed significant reductions of apparent color and turbidity in the initial 5 min for the coagulant solution and the powder pouches of 0.6 and 0.8 g, with stability after this period until the end of sedimentation. The 1.0 g pouch presented significant difference with subsequent stabilization only after 15 min of sedimentation. After this period of sedimentation (when the turbidity and apparent color values did not vary over time for the 4 treatments), the comparison of dosages at each time demonstrates that the coagulant solution and the pouches of 0, 8 and 1.0 g did not differ. The 0.6 g pouch differs from the others and presented less reduction in the evaluated parameters. At the end of sedimentation (60 min), the efficiency of turbidity reduction compared to the raw water was 97.9%, 64.3%, 82.6% and 97.4% for the coagulant solution and pouches
