“…Given its high nutritional value, it is better if water hyacinths are harvested and its leaves can be used as animal feed (Su et al 2018). In general, the metal content of contaminated water hyacinth leaves is usually well below the maximum tolerable levels for rodents, poultry, sheep, cattle, and fish (Du et al 2020). However, if the roots and stems of water hyacinth are used as animal feed, it can be used as biofuel to generate heat or electricity, which can bring economic benefits and prevent the disposal of potentially hazardous biomass (Rezania et al 2016;Du et al 2020).…”

Hasani Q, Pratiwi NTM, Wardiatno Y, Effendi H, Martin AN, Efendi E, Pirdaus P. 2020. Phytoremediation of Iron (Fe) in Ex-sand Mining Waters by Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms). The high concentration of iron (Fe) has allegedly caused the water quality of puddles at sand mining area. The poor water quality, in which high contentrations of iron will to a reduction in aquaculture production. This study verified the ability of water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.)) as a phytoremediation agent for iron (Fe) concentration in water at the sand mining area, in East Lampung Regency, Indonesia. The study was carried out with 3 treatments and 3 replication each, including the treatment of (i) 25% water surface coverage, (ii) 50% water surface coverage, and (iii) 75% water surface coverage of water hyacinth. Measurement of Fe concentrations, bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) once a week, until Fe concentrations in water are adequate for aquaculture. This was achieved for 21 days. The results showed that the highest percentage reduction of Fe (97.49%) was observed at water hyacinth cover area 50%. The highest value of BCF was 2385.51, while the highest TF was 1.14 in stems and 1.02 in leaves. The results of this study open up opportunities for use water in ex-sand mining areas for aquaculture by the community and its management by the Government of East Lampung Regency, Lampung, Indonesia.

“…Bahan organik dan anorganik tersebut jika masuk ke perairan baik air permukaan maupun air tanah akan menyebabkan tercemarnya air yang dapat membahayakan makhluk hidup pengguna air tersebut, termasuk manusia. Untuk memastikan konsumsi yang aman oleh makhluk hidup, investigasi lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk memeriksa akumulasi adanya berat logam pada hewan mengikuti dampak negatif jika dikonsumsi jangka panjang (Du et al, 2020).…”

Abstrak - PT. Chemco Harapan Nusantara (PT CHN) membutuhkan air bersih dalam jumlah besar untuk digunakan sebagai air proses dalam kegiatan proses produksi. Adapun total kebutuhan air bersih untuk semua proses produksi yaitu sebanyak 10.450 m3/ bulan. PT CHN dapat menghasilkan produk yang bernilai jual dari penggunaan air bersih tersebut. Di samping itu juga menghasilkan air limbah yang dapat mencemari lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menerapkan metode daur ulang air limbah pada PT CHN sehingga dapat mengurangi dampak buruk bagi lingkungan akibat pembuangan air limbah dan menghasilkan penghematan secara ekonomi terutama pada saat Pandemi Covid19 ini. Penerapan dari metode tersebut dilakukan dengan cara mengolah air limbah di dalam instalasi pengolahan air limbah, kemudian mengolah kembali air tersebut di dalam instalasi pengolahan air bersih. Air olahan yang diperoleh kemudian di distribusikan ke masing-masing proses produksi pemakai air bersih. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan wawancara dan survei secara langsung di lokasi kemudian menganalisis hasil penelitian dengan teknik analisa data coding, entering, cleaning, display dan analyzing. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan metode daur ulang air limbah mampu mengubah seluruh air limbah menjadi air bersih yang dapat digunakan untuk proses produksi , sehingga tidak mencemari lingkungan. Hal tersebut terbukti bahwa pada prosesnya seluruh air limbah dimasukkan ke dalam instalasi pengolahan air limbah yang kemudian diolah lagi di WTP dan air hasil olahan dari WTP tersebut digunakan kembali sebagai process water. Penerapan metode daur ulang air limbah yang dilakukan oleh PT CHN juga dapat menguntungkan secara ekonomi yaitu dengan dapat mengurangi pemakaian air WTP Jababeka sebesar 77,5 %, sehingga mampu menghemat biaya pengeluaran pembelian air sebesar Rp 99.187.652 /bulan. Abstract - PT. Chemco Harapan Nusantara (PT CHN) requires large amounts of clean water to be used as process water in production process activities. The total need for clean water for all production processes is 10.450 m3 / month. PT CHN can produce products of value from the use of clean water. Besides that, it also produces waste water which can pollute the environment. The purpose of this research is to apply the wastewater recycling method at PT CHN so as to reduce adverse environmental effects due to waste water disposal and generate economic savings, especially during the Covid Pandemic19. The application of this method is done by treating wastewater in a wastewater treatment plant, then reprocessing the water in a clean water treatment plant. The processed water obtained is then distributed to each of the clean water user production processes. The method used in this study is to interview and survey directly on site and then analyze the results of research with data analysis techniques coding, entering, cleaning, display and analyzing. Based on the results of the study showed that the application of the wastewater recycling method is able to convert all wastewater into clean water that can be used for the production process, so it does not pollute the environment. This is evident that in the process all wastewater is put into a wastewater treatment plant which is then treated again at the WTP and the treated water from the WTP is reused as process water. The application of the wastewater recycling method conducted by PT CHN can also be economically profitable, namely by being able to reduce the use of Jababeka's WTP water by 77,5%, thereby being able to save on the cost of water purchase expenses of Rp 99.187.652 / month.

“…This finding concurred with a study by Du et.al. [38], whereby heavy metal accumulation had a limit beyond which water hyacinth uptake could no longer increase with the contamination level. The reason for this remains unknown, and deserves further investigation.…”

The contamination of water by heavy metals is a worldwide environmental problem. Phytoremediation and constructed wetlands have become increasingly popular as more sustainable and environmentally friendly techniques of removing heavy metals from the wastewater. This study, therefore, investigated the phytoremediation of nickel by Alocasia puber (A. puber) in a constructed wetlands (CW) microcosm. This study identified the optimum conditions for nickel (Ni) removal from wastewater using response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD). Two operational variables were assessed: exposure time and initial Ni concentration. The optimum conditions for the maximum removal of Ni from water were an exposure time of 10 days and 99.76 mg/L initial Ni concentration. The results indicated that 95.6% removal was achieved under the optimized conditions, with a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.97) between the statistical model and the experimental data. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images showed anatomical changes in the A. puber samples due to Ni exposure, and transmission electron microscopy images revealed some internal damages in the A. puber, but visual Ni toxicity symptoms, such as necrosis and chlorosis, were not observed in the A. puber. This study demonstrated that A. puber planted in a constructed wetland microcosm was able to remediate wastewater contaminated with Ni.
