Potensi Biji Pepaya (Carica Papaya) Sebagai Biokoagulan Untuk Penyisihan Kekeruhan, Tss Dan Tds Pada Air Gambut
SUMMARY
Papaya seeds (Carica papaya) have an active component in the form of protein which can act as a coagulant agent. This study aims to prepare, characterize and determine the effectiveness of papaya seeds as a biocoagulant in removing turbidity, TSS and TDS of peat water. Papaya seeds were prepared with each of the solvents akua DM and 0.5 M NaCl at various extraction times (1, 2, 5, 8 and 10) minutes. Characterization of biocoagulants was carried out by determining protein content with the Lowry test, water content by gravimetry and functional groups using FTIR. Coagulation was carried out using a jar test in various conditions, namely variations in coagulation pH (2, 3, 4 and 6) and biocoagulant doses (1,2 and 3) g. Determination of the effectiveness of papaya seed biocoagulant performance was determined from biocoagulant preparation using various solvents, sedimentation time and total sludge volume after coagulation. The results of FTIR analysis showed the presence of functional groups from the O-H (carboxylic acid), N-H (amine), C-H, C=O (carbonyl) and C-O (carboxylic) groups. In the papaya seed biocoagulant extracted from 0.5 M NaCl for 1 minute (BPNaCl-1) a protein content of 0.83% and a water content of 10.86% were obtained. BPNaCl-1 is a biocoagulant that has the most effective performance in peat water treatment by being able to remove turbidity of 75.28% and TSS of 43.75%, which was coagulated at pH 2, dose of 2 g, with a sedimentation time of 4 hours and obtained sludge volume 5 mL. This result complies with PERMENKES RI No. 32 of 2017 and PP No. 22 of 2021, but has not been able to set aside the TDS of peat water
