KEMAMPUAN EMPAT JENIS TANAMAN DALAM MENYERAP CEMARAN MERKURI DI MEDIA TAILING
Abstract: This study aims to
determine the level of absorption mercury contamination in plants and would
like to know which plants are best at absorbing mercury contamination in
tailings. plants used were Casuarina junghuniana, Cinnamomum porrectum (Roxb.),
Melastoma affine and Dillenia suffruticosa Griff ex Hook. This study uses RCD
(randomized completely design) with 8 treatments on plants and each treatment
was repeated 5 times. The analysis showed that the Casuarina junghuniana,
Cinnamomum porrectum (Roxb.), Melastoma affine and Dillenia suffruticosa Griff
ex Hook has the ability to absorb mercury contamination in tailing and the
tolerance to mercury contamination. The results showed that the higher the
growth rate, the higher the mercury is absorbed in plant tissues. The best
types of plants to absorb mercury contamination is Melastoma affine and
Dillenia suffruticosa Griff ex Hook because this plant is a plant that
tolerance and is a pioneer plant that can grow in soil that has a low nutrient
content, has rapid growth and are able to grow in the open and logged over .
The analysis showed that the levels of mercury in the tissues of plants and
media higher than 0.02 ppm. However, the levels of mercury in the media on the
treatment of P3, P5, P6, and P7 contains mercury <0.02 ppm.
