PEMANFAATAN ALGAE Chlorella sp. dan ECENG GONDOK UNTUK MENURUNKAN TEMBAGA (Cu) PADA INDUSTRI PELAPISAN LOGAM

Abstract

Many the waste of copper metal that produced by electroplating industries and it is must be pollute that can make disturbance for water environments and the people if we throw it in the territorial water. To reduce the degree of copper metal in the water, usually use fitoremediation plant. In our experiment,we use Chlorella sp. and Eichiornia crassipes for reduce the degree of copper metal because that plant have capability to absorb the heavy metals include copper metal. Waste water that be preparation before, increased Chlorella sp. and Eichiornia crassipes (in different place) with different weight. Then we observe at second days, fourth days, and sixth days, then the result we analize with Spektofotometer. From the result, Chlorella sp. more absorb copper metal than Eichiornia crassipes.
