FITOREMEDIASI LAHAN TERCEMAR DI KAWASAN INDUSTRI MEDAN DENGAN TANAMAN HIAS
Abstract: The development of
industrial area in Medan City, North Sumatera impact for the increasing soil
polluted by heavy metal at the area. Phytoremediation is an emerging technology
for cleaning up contaminated sites, which is inovatif, cost effective, safety and
has aesthetic advantages and long term applicability. The important aspect to
be noted was the plant should not be used for consumption crops. The goal of
our research was to develop the phytoremediation technology by testing
different ornamental plant planting under different concentration contaminated
soil. So that the plant can use as a phytoremediator agent to recover the land
condition at Medan Industrial Area. The experiments included eight ornamental
crops such as: Sanseviera trifasciata, Dracaena fragrans, Diffenbachia sp.,
Phylodendron hederaceam, Agave sp.Codiatum variegatum, :Anthurium crystallium
and Chrysalidocarpus lutescens The parameters are biomass production and heavy
metal uptake by plant. The result showed that the greatest increase in biomass
production contained in Diffenbachia sp. followed by Codiatum variegatum,
Chrysalidocarpus lutescens, Sanseviera trifasciata and Dracaena fragrans
respectively. Uptake heavy metal is higher at Codiatum variegatum (291 mg/kg)
followed by Diffenbachia sp. (246 mg/kg), Chrysalidocarpus lutescens (185
mg/kg), Sanseviera trifasciata (162 mg/kg) and Dracaena fragrans (102 mg/kg).
