Penggunaan Kitosan dari Kulit Udang dalam Menurunkan Kadar Total Suspended Solid (TSS) pada Limbah Cair Industri Plywood
Abstract: This research was
conducted in the laboratory of waste Processing Technology and the laboratory
of Water Quality Management in the FAPERIKA – UNRI. The aim of this research is
to identify the ability of chitosan in reducing the level of TSS in the
wastewater of plywood industry. The method used in this research is experimental study with completely randomized
design, one factor, 4 level, 12 units of trial. Several concentration of
chitosan such as 0 mg/L, 15 mg/L, 30 mg/L were applied on the wastewater and
observed after 8 hours, 12 hours and 16 hours. The result shown that 12 hours
after addition of 30 mg chitosan /L, the quality of the waste improved : TSS
182,3 – 56,7 mg/L, Phenol 2,4 - 0,5 mg/L, BOD5 132-93 mg/L, COD 279-217 mg/L
and pH 6 - 9.
