Abstract

Phytoremediation using a combination of eceng gondok (Eichhornia crassipes) and melati air (Echinodorus palifolius) can reduce pollutants in the form of Pb metal in waters. This research aims to determine the effect of Echinodorus palifolius and Eichhornia crassipes on reducing Pb metal levels, pH, temperature, BOD in Pb wastewater of various concentrations (15, 20, 25 ppm). The research was carried out experimentally using a Randomized Block Design (RAK) and one of the treatment factors, namely the Pb concentration in the media (15, 20, 25 ppm). There were 4 repetitions in the research so there were 24 treatment units. The parameters measured in the research include Pb metal content, pH, temperature, BOD in the planting media. Pb analysis using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer). The Pb metal content data obtained were analyzed using the T test with an accuracy level of 0.05. pH, temperature and BOD data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the research show that there is an effect of plant combinations on reducing Pb metal and pH at various Pb metal concentrations. The highest reduction in Pb metal levels occurred at a concentration of 15 ppm. The combination of plants is able to change the acidic pH to neutral at various concentrations of Pb metal, reduce temperature and BOD.
