Absorption Polutan Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) By Mangrove Plant Rhizophora apiculata
Coastal areas have the potential to be used for various industrial, service and domestic activities that result in pollution of the aquatic environment. To clean various kinds of effects, detergents have been used as cleaners that contain active ingredients, dispersants as compounds Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) that is one of the largest organic wastes that can cause water pollution that has an impact on ecosystems including aquatic biota. One of the efforts that can be made to control LAS in waters is the phytoremediation method. One type of aquatic plant that can be used as phytoremediator is Mangrove Plant Rhizopora apiculata. This research is an experiment as an application of LAS pollutant control by plants R.apiculata in the waters. After acclimatization and preliminary tests, the implementation of plant LAS phytoremediation test R. apiculata in seawater media was carried out at concentrations of A1: 25 mg / L, A2: 100 mg / L, A3: 175 mg / L, A4: 250 mg / L, and A5: 325 mg / L and control (Control without plants) as a simulation of the presence of pollutants in coastal waters. The method used is a complete randomized design (RAL) with one treatment and 3 repeats. The decrease in LAS concentration in the test media and its effect on dissolved oxygen were analyzed at week 2 to week 4. The results of the analysis showed that mangrove plants R. apiculata able to absorb LAS pollutants 83.3% - 85.88% in week 2 and 94.47%
- 96% in week 4. Plant water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH) are measured daily. LAS reduction by R. apiculata In the media can increase dissolved oxygen content as an indication of improved water quality. Plant R. apiculata can be used as an alternative to LAS pollution control in the waters.
