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.

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.

Tofu waste is the waste generated in tofu manufacturing process. The Waste is generated in the form of solid and liquid wastes. The liquid waste contains organic material.  When it is disposed in water without processing, it will cause pollution, such as the reduction of oxygen dissolved in the water causing disturbance on organisms living in the water. This is an actual experimental research by using "pretest-posttest with Control Group" design. This research was conducted with 9 repetitions; each took 30 liters divided into three tubs. The data were then analyzed by using the percent decline formula. The results showed that each treatment was effective to reduce BOD and COD with 2 days contact. BOD reduction was 49.11% and 42.87% for COD reduction by using  water hyacinth plant. With apu-apu, the reduction of BOD was 33.76% and COD was 36.26%. Small and medium industries experiencing problems with the quality BOD and COD level are suggested to make a pond filled with the plants to absorb the levels of BOD and COD to improve the quality of the liquid waste before it is discharged in water bodies. Government institutions are expected to continue to monitor industry that produces waste. Therefore, BOD and COD levels remain below the quality standard that has been set.Keywords    : BOD, COD, Apu-Apu, Water Hyacinth, Tofu waste

Water hyacinth is the world's worst water weed that is responsible for many environmental and economical problems. Nigerian fresh waters have been infested with this aquatic weed. In this work, a Natural Convection Mixed Mode Solar Dryer for drying water hyacinth to about 10% of its moisture content was constructed and tested as a component of controlling its infestation of the River Benue. The performance of the dryer was compared with the traditional open–air sun drying as the control for drying water hyacinth in Makurdi, Benue State Nigeria. The water hyacinth was dried for 8 hours each day for 4 days. 500g of water hyacinth on wet basis was dehydrated by about 437g on dry basis in 20 hours in the dryer while the control required 32 hours. The dryer was found to be technically more suitable for drying water hyacinth both in terms of the drying rate and quality of the dried product.
