Laundry wastewater is dangerous if it is immediately disposed into a river without treating it first. One of the chemicals contained in laundry wastewater is a phosphate compound. If laundry wastewater is discharged directly into the river it will increase the phosphate content as a nutrient in river water which can be dangerous for living creatures. The high nutrient in the river will cause eutrophication in the river which will adversely affect aquatic biota. One treatment that can be done is the process of adsorption with activated carbon made from bintaro fruit shells.

ABSTRAKEkosistem mangrove merupakan suatu interaksi yang terjadi antara tanaman – tanaman mangrove dengan faktor lingkungan perairan mangrove sehingga dapat menyebabkan terjadinya kesuburan perairan dan sebagai tempat mencari makan alami bagi biota – biota perairan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sebaran klorofil-a, nitrat dan fosfat serta plankton pada ekosistem mangrove yang berguna untuk kelestarian hidup biota – biota perairan Mangrove. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan bulan Oktober – November 2017 di Mangrove Tapak Tugurejo Semarang. Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan kandungan klorofil a rata – rata 0,165 mg/l, kandungan nitrat rata – rata 2,188 mg/l dan kandungan fosfat rata – rata 0,045 mg/l. Kelimpahan fitoplankton ditemukan sebanyak 23 spesies dan zooplankton ditemukan sebanyak 5 spesies. Berdasarkan status indeks trofik perairan Mangrove Tapak Tugurejo Semarang termasuk dalam kategori perairan mesotrofik, yakni unsur hara dan nutrien dalam perairan mangrove kurang tersedia banyak atau sedang dan belum tercemar. Kondisi kesuburan ekosistem mangrove terpantau cukup baik bila dibandingkan dengan kandungan – kandungan unsur hara, klorofil a dan plankton yang melimpah di perairan penelitian, sehingga memungkinkan banyak terdapat kehidupan biota – bioata perairan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kandungan unsur hara (nitrat dan fosfat) dan klorofil a serta plankton diperairan mangrove sangat mempengaruhi kesuburan ekosistem perairan, serta plankton yang mendominasi tempat penelitian ialah dari kelas Baccilariophyceae sebanyak 21 spesies.Kata kunci: Status trofik, Plankton, Ekosistem Mangrove,  Mangrove Tapak Tugurejo Semarang.ABSTRACTMangrove ecosystem is an interaction that occurs between mangrove plants with environmental factors of mangrove waters that can cause the occurrence of water fertility and as a place of natural foraging for aquatic biota. The purpose of this research is to know the distribution of chlorophyll a, nitrate and phosphate and plankton in mangrove ecosystem which is useful for the preservation of biota life of Mangrove waters. This research was conducted in October - November 2017 at Tapak Mangrove Tugurejo Semarang. The results of this study obtained an average chlorophyll-1 content of 0.165 mg / l, an average nitrate content of 2.188 mg / l and an average phosphate content of 0.045 mg / l. Abundance of phytoplankton found as many as 23 species and zooplankton found as many as 5 species. Based on the trophic index status of Mangrove waters Tapak Tugurejo Semarang included in the category of mesotrophic waters, the nutrients and nutrients in the mangrove waters are less available or moderate and not contaminated. The condition of mangrove ecosystem fertility is observed quite well when compared with nutrient content, chlorophyll-a and plankton abundant in research waters, thus allowing many life biota - bioata waters. The conclusion of this research is the content of nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) and chlorophyll a and plankton in mangrove waters greatly affect the fertility of aquatic ecosystems, and the plankton that dominate the research site is from the Baccilariophyceae class of 21 species.Keywords : Trophic Status, Plankton, Mangrove Ecosystem, Mangrove Tapak Tugurejo SemarangCitation: Prihatin, A, Setyono, P dan Sunarto (2018).

Emerging microcontaminants benzophenone (BP), benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and caffeine (CF) are widely used anthropogenic markers from a group of pharmaceuticals and personal care products. They have different logD values and charges at neutral pH (2.96 neutral for BP; 3.65 negative and neutral for BP-3; 0.28 and neutral for CF). The goal of this study was to assess the efficacy of coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation (C/F/S), adsorption onto two types of powdered activated carbon (PAC)/sedimentation (PAC/S) and the combination of these two processes in different dosing sequences (PAC/C/F/S) and with/without ultrafiltration (powdered activated carbon/ultrafiltration—PAC/UF, coagulation/UF—CoA/UF) for the removal of selected micropollutants from river water. It was shown that the removal efficiency of benzophenones by coagulation depends on the season, while CF was moderately removed (40–70%). The removal of neutral BP by two PACs unexpectedly differed (near 40% and ˃93%), while the removal of BP-3 was excellent (>95%). PACs were not efficient for the removal of hydrophilic CF. Combined PAC/C/F/S yielded excellent removal for BP and BP-3 regardless of PAC type only when the PAC addition was followed by C/F/S, while C/F/S efficiency for CF diminished. The combination of UF with PAC or coagulant showed also high efficacy for benzophenones, but was negligible for CF removal.

Tanneries at Hazaribagh use a large number of chemicals during processing and discharge their effluents to the river Buriganga without appropriate treatment and aggravate its pollution level. This study focuses on a plausible way for the abatement of pollution level of Buriganga river water using low cost adsorbent. Activated carbon prepared from coconut shell was used as a low cost adsorbent. The samples were collected from three different points of the river at three different layers from the surface of water. The collected samples were passed through the activated carbon and a remarkable amount of pollutants were found to be adsorbed. TSS, TDS, BOD5, COD and chromic oxide content of polluted water were reduced significantly.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 51(3), 215-220, 2016

High Nutrient

Wastewaters have the potential to proliferate excessive numbers of cyanobacteria due to high nutrient levels. This could translate to the production of metabolites, such as the saxitoxins, geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), which can impair the quality of wastewater destined for re-use. Biological sand filtration was assessed for its ability to remove these metabolites from a wastewater. Results indicated that the sand filter was incapable of effectively removing the saxitoxins and in some instances, the effluent of the sand filter displayed greater toxicity than the influent. Conversely, the sand filter was able to effectively remove geosmin and MIB, with removal attributed to biodegradation. Granular activated carbon was employed as an alternative filter medium to remove the saxitoxins. Results showed similar removals to previous drinking water studies, where efficient removals were initially observed, followed by a decrease in the removal; a consequence of the presence of competing organics which reduced adsorption of the saxitoxins.

Eel (Monopterus albus) is an aquatic biota that have a high nutrient content such as fatty acids and cholesterol. The purpose of this research was to determine the chemical composition, fatty acid, cholesterol, and description of tissue in fresh dan boiled eel. The research was carried out in several steps include sampling, sample preparation, morphometric and yield calculations, boiling eel for 20 minutes at 100ºC. Analysis performed in fresh and boiled eel was proximate analysis, fatty acids, cholesterol, and observation of tissue structure. The highest content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) in fresh eel was palmitic acid 13.79%, the highest content of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) was oleic acid 19.45%, the highest content of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) was linoleic acid 7.42%. The content of fatty acid and cholesterol in eel has changed overall due to the boiling process. The content of cholesterol were 60 mg/100 g (in fresh eel) and 56.32 mg/100 g (in boiled sample). The structure of eel’s tissue changed due the boiling process.<br />Keywords: cholesterol, eel (Monopterus albus), fatty acid, tissue structure
