KEMAMPUAN TUMBUHAN AIR SEBAGAI AGEN FITOREMEDIATOR LOGAM BERAT KROMIUM (Cr) YANG TERDAPAT PADA LIMBAH CAIR INDUSTRI BATIK
Abstract: Batik Industry has
been developed in Banyumas regency, Central JavaIndonesia. This industry
produced liquid waste as the side of production process.The liquid waste
decreased the water quality surrounds it. One of the pollutantwhich brought
trough the liquid waste was heavy metal chromium (Cr) whichknown toxic to the
organism in the water. Therefore, there should be preventionaction to minimize
the bad impact of liquid waste. One of method which could beuse to prevent the
water quality was by phytoremediation. There were three kindsof aquatic plant
in this research; Eceng gondok (Eichornia crassipes), kayu apu(Pistia
stratiotes) and ganggang (Hydrilla verticillata). The aim of using aquaticplant
was to observe the ability of aquatic plant to decrease chromium level in
thewater and decide which was the most effective. It was use completely
randomizeddesign with 4 treatments and 6 repetitions, which will analyze by
ANAVA andcontinued with LSD. The result showed that aquatic plant could be used
asremediator agent to heavy metal Cr. Eceng gondok had 49.56%, kayu apu had33.61%
and ganggang had 10.84% on decreasing Cr level in liquid waste of
batikindustry. It can conclude that Eceng gondok was the most
effectivephytoremediator agent on decreasing Cr level in liquid waste of batik
industry.
