PENURUNAN KANDUNGAN LOGAM PB DAN CR LEACHATE MELALUI FITOREMEDIASI BAMBU AIR (EQUISETUM HYEMALE) DAN ZEOLIT
ABSTRACT: The very large
numbers of trash in the TPA (end disposal place) will cause the natural
decomposition process goes on massively as well. The decomposition process will
change trash into organic fertilizer that if there any water input from the
outside, it will dissolve metals that later become the byproduct that is
leachate. The introduction of chemical contained in the leachate into the
waters ecosystem may also affect the existing biota. Therefore, it is need the
waste treatment before released into the environment. Leachate waste treatment
by using the phytoremediation principle by means of Bambu air plant (Equisetum
hyemale), with zeolite planting media was to be the choice in the effort of
liquid waste treatment the Phytoremediation system was taken with a various
considerations that very potential to develop into new innovation in the
process of leachate waste treatment.This research had the purpose to know the
effectiveness of phytoremediation system using water bamboo plant (Equisetum
hyemale) and zeolit planting media by batch system and continue system in
reducing Pb and Cr heavy metals contents of leachate. Research method used was
the experimental method. Observations carried out involved environmental
temperature and humidity, solution pH and treatment temperature, Reduction of
Pb and Cr Metals Contents on leachate.Batch system and continue system as a
whole, mean of leachate pH tested during this treatment was about 7,466.
Leachate pH tested did not less than 7,200 and not more that 7,810. Mean of
leachate temperature from the first week through third week was of 22,283°C.
The best treatment was on the K2S1 (60 batch system plants) treatment with
reduction of Pb metal content of 82,2% in the last week of observation. While
the reduction of Cr metal of 61,2% was on the K2S2 (60 continue system plants)
treatment.
