PENYISIHAN LOGAM BERAT TIMBAL (Pb) DENGAN PROSES FITOREMIDIASI

Research lead (Pb) to the pollutant removal by fitoremidiation process used water bamboo plants (Equisetum Hymale) has been carried out in a laboratory scale.This study aims to determine the level of efficiency decreased levels of lead (Pb) contained in the effluent artificially after going through the fitoremidiation process.Influence and potential of plants have been studied through laboratory observations with artificial waste with fitoremidiation process. Experiments carried out using reactor of fitoremidiation, size : length 65 cm x widht 40 cm x high 27 cm. The main variables : discharge in the range of 100 ml/minute to 300 ml/minute and the age of the bamboo water in the range of 30 days to 60 days with a density of 15 water bamboo plants. Experimental results show that by using a water bamboo plant (Equisetum Hymale) in fitoremidiation system, can set aside a lead (Pb) content of 76 % which occurred in debit of 200 ml/minute of water bamboo plants age of 30 days old.
