This study investigated the combination of biochar derived from carbonized local feedstock and Moringa oleifera seed extract-based flocculant, a novel combination in the context of greywater treatment missed in the previous studies, with a focus on the removal of organic contaminants (caffeine, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, carbamazepine, diclofenac, and bisphenol A) and heavy metals (Cr(VI), As(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Pb(II)). The research focused on the optimization of dosage, application procedure, and relevance to greywater (presence of humic acids, clay, and surfactants).
