The research about bio-filtration of peat water using paddy chaff coated by carbon as filter biomaterial has been conducted. Iodimetry titration method was selected for determination of BOD and COD concentration, while gravimetry method and UV/Vis spectrophotometry is used to determinate TSS and humic acid containing in sample. The results of filtration with bio-filter lock up this paddy able to reduce organic compounds in peat water. The existence of coating carbon causing of BOD 22.37 mg/L (without carbon 27.73 mg/L), COD 54.30 mg/L (without carbon 86.02 mg/L), TSS 120 mg/L (without carbon 155 mg/L) concentration was decreasing, especially at the third step of filtration.
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.
