The research on environmental biotechnology has been done in aims to study the ability of mixed culture indigenous bacteria to remove cyanide (KCN-) concentration which is determined by environment conditions of temperature and contact time. The research has been done using the artificial pollutants that contains 500 ppm of KCN- which is exposed to the SMSS (Stone Mineral Salt solution) as a growth media for mixed culture bacteria TBS and CTS. The effect of different environment conditions including temperature and contact time were studied on cyanide removal. Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrophotometer (GC - MS) method is used to analysed the concentrations of KCN-. Initial condition of research operation is determined to be pH 7 and contact time of 48 hours. The removal of 500 ppm KCN- increases to 71% at incubation temperature 35°C and contact time of 36 hours. This research showed that indigenous bacteria TB1 and CS2 can remove 500 ppm KCN- on all temperature variations between (°C) 25 to 45 and the highest removal occur when contact time is 36 hours.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
