Abstract

Waste is a residual result of a process that cannot be reused. The rubber industry is one of the waste-producing industries that if not managed properly, will cause environmental pollution. One of the rubber industries is the latex glove industry, which uses raw materials in the form of latex and chemicals as dispersing agents. Dispersing agents that already expired cannot be reused, so they need to be processed before being discharged into the environment. One of the methods used for treating this wastewater is the coagulation-flocculation method. This research is aimed to conduct the treatment of dispersing agents wastewater from latex glove manufacturing by the coagulation-flocculation method using coagulants to reduce the level of turbidity and COD concentration. The concentrations of Al2(SO4)3 and PAC coagulants used were 1.33 g/L, 1.67 g/L, and 2 g/L, respectively, with rapid stirring at 120 rpm for 2 minutes. The flocculant concentration used was 0.33 g/L, with rapid stirring at 25 rpm for 15 minutes. The results showed that Al2(SO4)3 coagulant was better at reducing turbidity levels up to 97.86% and COD concentrations up to 90.24% in the dispersing agents wastewater. Based on this study, the recommended dose of Al2(SO4)3 coagulant is 1.67 g/L. At this dose, there was a decrease in turbidity levels from 816 NTU to 17.43 NTU and a decrease in COD levels from 328 mg/L to 32 mg/L.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that have contributed to the apparel, leather, and textile industry in the international market. Not only that, but Indonesian MSME handicrafts are also one of the commodities that can increase the country's foreign exchange, one of which is the lantung bark craft from Bengkulu. However, the creative industry is constantly facing competition with the entry of cheap products from China that get easy access with the increasing e-commerce technology. Providing value for the Lantung Bengkulu MSME products to compete locally and globally, one of the steps is to apply the Design Thinking Method and take the distinctive character of the stylized Serawai Tribe Weaving in the exploration process. The results of this study have obtained data that 47 Bengkulu women consumers as much as 89.4% like the results of the re-design and exploration of lantung shoes that have been designed. In determining the selling price of MSME Lantung Bengkulu should also set a price range of Rp. 110.000 to Rp. 500.000 because it corresponds to the purchasing power of female consumers in Bengkulu. The results of this study directly contribute to providing product value to the typical Bengkulu Lantung MSMEs. The Design Thinking method has been successfully increasing the value of the Lantung Bengkulu MSME products, this method can be applied to similar research to develop local MSMEs in Indonesia.
