Abstract

Textile wastewater has characteristics of concentrated color and containing high concentration of COD, BOD, N, P, and heavy metals. Some wastewater treatments have been developed for removal waste contaminant, especially heavy metal such as precipitation, evaporation, electroplating, ion exchange, and membrane process. These methods have disadvantages such as unpredictable of heavy metal, high reagent requirement, and generation of toxic sludge. Biosorption using immobilized algae give the alternative method to removal heavy metal in textile wastewater because of increased stability in the matrix. The main purpose of this research was to determine the adsorption of textile wastewater heavy metal using immobilized microalgae. The best ratio bead: wastewater (v/v) for removal heavy metal by immobilized microalgae of textile wastewater heavy metal in batch system was 1:3. Heavy metal Cu decreased as much as 89% with the highest final concentration of 0.2 ppm. Ability of Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis to reduce heavy metals Cr was 89% and 90% with a final concentration of 1.6 ppm and 1.5 ppm. Uptake heavy metal Cu and Cr of textile wastewater by Chlorella vulgaris reach 1.9 mg/g and 16.3 mg/g. Meanwhile for Spirulina platensis reach 1.7 mg/g and 14.7 mg/g. Based on the Langmuir equation, biosorption by Chlorella vulgaris have qmax and Kb value of heavy metal Cu was 1,984 mg/g and 0,014 mg/L.  On heavy metal Cr, qmax and Kb value were 15.873 mg/g and 0.079 mg/L. Spirulina platensis have qmax and Kb value of heavy metal Cu were 1,798 mg/g and 0,014 mg/L. On heavy metal Cr qmax and Kb value were 14.925 mg/g and 0.0445 mg/L.

Abstract

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is liquid waste produced from palm oil processing. The quantity of POME in Indonesia has increased from year by year. POME is not a toxic material, but it will be very dangerous if it is thrown directly without pre-processing, because it will harm the aquatic ecosystem due to its high content of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand). POME has also a high content of nitrogen (N) and phosphor (P), which make POME can be used as medium for microalgae growth. Therefore, this research is aimed to study pretreatment and to utilize its nutrient content (N, P) for medium of spirulina growth. Pretreatment of POME research was conducted by using two stage of cultivation (Chlamydomonas and Chlorella) and dilution factor (0-4x).  The result of this pretreatment was then used for Spirulina growth. Spirulina cultivation was conducted by nutrient addition and without nutrient addition. This research showed that the best performing variation of dilution rate to cultivate Spirulina is 4x dilution. It showed that 4x dilution could reduce COD content until 128.33 mg/L. Besides that, in 4x dilution, microalgae as Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, and Spirulina had the highest growth rate as compared to 2x dilution and without dilution. The best wild algae for pretreatment of POME is Chlorella. Because by using wild algae Chlorella, COD content could be reduced until 128.33 mg/L and achieve the lowest COD content compared with Chlamydomonas. For microalgae growth, addition of nutrient is better than without nutrient, because nutrient could enhance Spirulina photosynthesis.
