Tempe waste water contains high organic matter because the raw material used to making tempe (soybean) containing protein. If tempe waste water thrown away directly into environment, it would cause water pollution, destroy the habitat of aquatic biota and causing foul odor. One of the easy efforts to reduce the impact is using phytoremediation. The aim of this research was to know the best treatment to decrease parameter such as BOD, COD, TSS, pH, turbidity and N of the tempe waste water by aquatic plants, i.e. water hyacinth (Eg), water spinach (Ka) and water lettuce (Ki). The research was conducted in laboratory experiment scale using aquarium with length of 40 cm, width of 15 cm and tall of 25 cm to each treatment with 3 replications. The data were analyzed descriptively. It was to determined the best treatment of the aquatic plant that has highest efficiency to decrease negatively parameter of waste water quality. The result showed that the applied of water hyacinth (Eg) was the best treatment in decreasing parameter of tempe waste water quality with efficiency value, such as turbidity of 85.03%; TSS of 66.44%; COD of 59.11%; BOD of 77.91% and N of 61.77%. Keywords: phytoremediation, tempe waste water, water hyacinth, water lettuce, water spinach

In this paper three sustainable approaches are made in waste management option. Firstly primary treated domestic sewage is treated by aquatic macrophytes using duckweed, water hyacinth and water lettuce. Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Phosphate, Nitrates are tested before and after. Result indicates in terms of water quality, almost all three plants shows same removal efficiencies. BOD and TSS removal efficiency is attained more than 95%. COD and TDS removal is reached upto 50% for almost all plants. Secondly the used aquatic macrophytes for wastewater treatment is again used for generation of biogas (water lettuce unit, duckweed unit, water lettuce unit). In addition to three aquatic macrophytes, sludge is collected from aquatic macrophyte unit for generation of biogas. Comparison is made with conventional cow dung biogas unit. Result indicates water lettuce and duckweed produce biogas at earlier stage itself and water hyacinth takes some time for starting of biogas production. This may be due to the structure and texture causes some time for decomposition. Sludge gives maximum biogas generation among all experimental setup. Also in this study cow dung did not give biogas more may be due to poor blend ratio of cow dung with water is one of the reason.

Water hyacinth, giant salvinia and water lettuce are widely available in Central Kalimantan that can be used as organic fertilizer. This study aims to determine the nutrient content of solid and liquid organic fertilizers in water hyacinth, giant salvinia and water lettuce fertilizers. The results showed that solid organic fertilizer/compost and water hyacinth, water lettuce and giant salvinia liquid fertilizer have nutrient content needed by plants. In solid fertilizers, the Nitrogen of giant salviniacontent was 2.43% and lack of the minimum standard of solid organic fertilizer, while Phospor and Potassium content were not included in the standard. In liquid organic fertilizer, Nitrogen, Phospor and Potassium content were not included in the minimum standard organic fertilizer requirements

The issue that surfaces from the digging of limonite and saprolite zones on nickel ore mining is the oxidation of chromium to chromium hexavalent. The aim of this research is to analyze the efficiency level of phytoremediation technology to reduce chromium hexavalent on waste water of nickel ore mining industry. This study was done in situ to observe the potential of Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) using self-designed experimental devices.. This research was divided into three part, such as the variation of plant’s weight of 10grams, 20grams, 30grams, 60grams, 70grams, and 150grams with interval of an hour for five hours, variation of chromium hexavalent of 0.5ppm, 1ppm, 2ppm, 5ppm, and 7ppm with interval of 4 days for 20 days, and variation HRT 1.5 hours, 2 hours, and 3 hours with interval of 24 hours for 16 days. The result of this research shows the average of efficiency on observation one, two and three are 18.5%, 89%, and 28%. The usage of phytoremediation technology shows the potential to reduce chromium hexavalent pollutant.
