Existence of heavy metals in industrial waste is gaining global attention since their negative impact to environment. One of the efforts to solve the problem was to use plant to absorb metal in liquid medium, known as rhizofiltration. This research was aimed to select aquatic plants which showed relative resistantce and susceptibility to chromium. Four species of aquatic plants (Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipes, Lemna minor and Salvinia sp.) were grown in artificial medium (Hoagland) supplemented with 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 ppm chromium. The plants resistance and absorption toward chromium was observed based on the morphology and chromium content in their biomass. Based on their resistance to and absorption of chromium, the selected plants were tested further in liquid waste of tanning industry. In Hoagland medium, Salvinia sp. demonstrated 67.2% higher resistance and absorption toward chromium while that of P. stratiotes 20.3% lower compared to other plants which were tested. This result could be applicable in reducing such environmental pollutant as the heavy metal chromium from industrial waste.

Salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah memanfaatkan tanaman untuk menyerap logam dalam medium cair atau dikenal sebagai fitoremediasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tanaman air lokal yang tahan dan peka secara relatif terhadap kromium. Empat spesies tanaman air (Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipes, Lemna minor, dan Salvinia sp.) ditumbuhkan pada medium buatan (Hoagland) yang dipasok kromium 0, 1, 2, 4, dan 8 ppm. Pengujian toleransi tanaman dan serapan terhadap kromium dilakukan berdasarkan pengamatan morfologis serta analisis kadar kromium dalam biomasa. Berdasarkan daya tahan dan serapan kromium, tanaman terseleksi diujikan lebih lanjut dalam limbah cair industri penyamakan kulit. Dalam medium Hoagland, Salvinia sp. mempunyai ketahanan dan serapan kromium lebih tinggi sebesar 67,2% sedangkan P. stratiotes mempunyai ketahanan dan serapan kromium lebih rendah sebesar 20,3% dibandingkan tanaman lain yang diujikan. Hasil penelitian ini dapat diterapkan untuk mengurangi bahan pencemar lingkungan berupa logam berat kromium dari limbah industri.Kata Kunci: Fitoremediasi, kromium, medium Hoagland, tanaman air, limbah cair

Industry Wastewater

In the processing of chips using cassava (Manihot utilissima), it will produce waste in the form of solid and liquid waste. The liquid waste of processing cassava chips contains organic compounds that are easily decomposed and cause unpleasant odors. If the liquid waste is discharged directly into the environment, it will cause pollution and damage the environment. One of the steps that can be used to overcome this problem is phytoremediation. The purpose of this study was to determine the best treatment in the processing of cassava chips industrial wastewater so that the liquid waste is safe to dispose of into the environment. In this study, using two types of aquatic plants, namely water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and kiambang (Pistia stratiotes) and using alum to remediate liquid waste. This research was conducted experimentally using a jar with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 25 cm with 3 repetitions of each treatment. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively to determine the best treatment that can be used for remediation of cassava chips industry wastewater. The results showed that the use of water hyacinth plants (Eichhornia crassipes) could improve the quality of wastewater so that it is safe to dispose of into the environment.

El objetivo de la investigación fue encontrar plantas acuáticas con potencial de remover E. coli y coliformes totales de agua contaminada. Para ello, se realizaron muestreos en Río Guayas, Recinto Aguas Frías y Estero Peñafiel, donde se seleccionaron las especies: Azolla caroliniana, Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes, Salvinia auriculata y Lemna minor (Control positivo). Las plantas se reprodujeron in vitro y se realizaron bioensayos para verificar su capacidad de remover E. coli y coliformes. Los ensayos se realizaron por triplicado en 0,5 L de agua con fertilizante y se inoculó una cepa de referencia E. coli ATCC25922.  Como control negativo se inoculó la bacteria sin plantas y control positivo con la planta Lemna sp. Después de 7 días se determinó la carga bacteriana remanente. Se encontró un porcentaje de eliminación de E. coli de 99% para A. caroliniana, E. crassipes y Lemna sp. y de 100% para P. stratiotes y S. auriculata. Posteriormente, se realizaron ensayos con aguas negras en los cuales S. auriculata y A. caroliniana lograron el 100% de remoción de las coliformes y E. coli el resto de plantas tuvieron niveles menores de eficiencia. Se propone el uso de estas especies para el tratamiento de aguas contaminadas.

Water Hyacinths

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a plant species commonly used for phytoremediation to reduce high chromium content in tannery liquid waste in Garut, West Java. Water hyacinth materials harvested from the phytoremediation can be used for the anaerobic digestion process to produce biogas and bio-slurry. This study aimed to determine the reduction of chromium content found in water hyacinths due to the anaerobic digestion process, and utilization of bio-slurry from the anaerobic digestion process as a biocomposite material. The anaerobic digestion process was carried out for 33 d using biodigesters and the composition of the biodigesters were varied into 100% dried water hyacinths and 80% water hyacinths with the addition of 20% cow dung. The bio-slurry from the anaerobic digestion process was then used for making biocomposites with 3 different compositions, i.e., 75 and 25%; 50 and 50%; and 25 and 75% of cement and bio-slurry, respectively. The average chromium content found in water hyacinths from the phytoremediation process without anaerobic digestion process was 41.964 mg/l. The results show a reduction in the amount of chromium after the anaerobic digestion process was found in each composition of bio-slurry, which were 15.979 mg/l (100% water hyacinth) and 14.861 mg/l (80% water hyacinth + 20% cow dung). Biodigester with a composition of 80% water hyacinth + 20% cow dung produced the highest average volume of biogas which was 0.424 l. The biocomposite of 75% cement and 25% bio-slurry had the highest compressive strength value of 30.598 MPa and water absorption capacity of 37.25%. It can be concluded that biocomposite with the composition of 75% cement and 25% water hyacinth bio-slurry is promising to be used as an alternative material for buildings.

Heavy-metal (HM) pollution is considered a leading source of environmental contamination. Heavy-metal pollution in ground water poses a serious threat to human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Conventional treatment technologies to remove the pollutants from wastewater are usually costly, time-consuming, environmentally destructive, and mostly inefficient. Phytoremediation is a cost-effective green emerging technology with long-lasting applicability. The selection of plant species is the most significant aspect for successful phytoremediation. Aquatic plants hold steep efficiency for the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) and Duck weed (Lemna minor) along with some other aquatic plants are prominent metal accumulator plants for the remediation of heavy-metal polluted water. The phytoremediation potential of the aquatic plant can be further enhanced by the application of innovative approaches in phytoremediation. A summarizing review regarding the use of aquatic plants in phytoremediation is gathered in order to present the broad applicability of phytoremediation.

Day By Day

Water shortage is now one of the major issues of the global world. Water scarcity is increasing day by day. The availability of water is decreasing. The need of hour is to treat the wastewater for dealing water crisis and using it for various purposes. This study involves the treatment of domestic wastewater using phytoremediation technique. The two aquatic plants named Eichhornia crassipes (Water hyacinth) and Pistia stratiotes (Water lettuce) were used. The parameters investigated in this research were pH, TDS, Turbidity, EC, TSS and temperature. These parameters were checked at various retention times after every three days interval. The objective of this study was to get higher efficiencies of these two aquatic plants in improving the parameters involved in the research. The adequacy of the treatment parameters was also validated using statistical analysis. It was established by the results at the end of the experiment that maximum efficiencies were achieved by this phytoremediation technique. This concluded that these two aquatic plants treated the wastewater to such an extent that it can be safely disposed in the drains.
