Akumulasi Logam Berat Timbal Dan Seng Dalam Kiambang Dan Azolla Menggunakan Rakit Apung Aquatic Plant Di Sungai Siak Kota Pekanbaru
Aquatic plant such as Salvinia molesta and Azolla microphylla are able to
absorb heavy metals from aquatic environment. As the Senapelan River, a
tributary of the Siak River in Pekanbaru is polluted due to anthropogenic
activities, the aquatic plant living in that river may absorb heavy metals originated
from the pollutant. To understand the Pb and Zn content in S. molesta and A.
microphylla planted in floating raft in that river, a study has been conducted on
March-April 2017. There was a wooden raft (2 x 5 m) that was completed with
used plastic bottles as buoy. The raft was divided into 10 squares (1 x 1 m). Five
squares were used to plant S. molesta (500 grams/ square) and the others were
used to plant A. microphylla (500 grams/ square). The plants were sampled once/
6 days for a month period. Results shown that the heavy metal content in the
water was Pb (0.7255 mg/L) and Zn (0.1779 mg/L). In S. molesta Pb and Zn were
7.5181 mg/kg and 5,5390 mg/kg. While the average content of Pb and Zn in A.
microphylla were 10.6171 mg/kg and 10,7928 mg/kg respectively. The Pb and Zn
content in these aquatic plant was relatively high.
