Abstract:
The present research was aimed to prototypeponds for treatment liquid industrial
waste water for rubber, combined with the local aquatic plants for diversification
phytoremediation. The research was arranged in completely design with 4 treatments
and 3 replications (3 weeks each). The treatments given were as follows: T0 (without
aquatic plants), T1 (Salvinia molesta), T2 (Phragmites karka), T3 (Eleocharis dulcis),
T4 (combined). Parameter observed of Zn (63%) in the 21stday using Salvinia
molesta, the only parameters that DO shown the value below the Standard of Water
Quality (2 mg/l). Eleocharis dulcis Zn (20%), the reduction is still low. Parameters
DO (2 mg/l) and pH (4.44) worth below but included the criteria of polluted.
Phragmites karka thus increasing the levels of Zn in experimental ponds, i.e. by 17%.
Model indoor instalation by using sediment filter bed that fits the life of Phragmites
karka and Eleocharis dulcis in nature, obtained results purun unabel afford reduction
of Zn (0%), parameters ofBOD5 (66.3 mg/l) and pH value 5 exceeds the Quality
Standard criteria in liquid waste rubber. Phragmites karka with the use of a filter bed
thus contributed 65% compared to 2 other plants. For water quality that is planted
with Phragmites karka all parameters are still far from the standard value of Water
Quality even from its 3 plants
