Abstract

Water is a vital element for human beings. However, there are still limited clean water services in Indonesia. Raw water treatment is needed to ensure the availability of clean water. One of the methods is by using the coagulation process. The coagulant functions to speed up the coagulation process. Although effective in water treatment, chemical coagulants have some disadvantages. Therefore, it is necessary to develop natural coagulants to overcome the weakness of chemical ones. Natural ingredients can be used as coagulants if they have many macromolecules. Lamtoro leaves are one of the natural materials that are only used to feed the animal. This research aims to examine the potential of lamtoro leaf as a natural coagulant in terms of its content. The research is conducted by testing lamtoro leaf powder using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and proximate test. Infrared spectra of lamtoro leaves show the presence of absorption peaks for specific groups of carbohydrate and protein compounds. The proximate test results show that lamtoro leaves contain 24.7% protein and 53.71% carbohydrates. The high protein and carbohydrate contents in lamtoro leaves enable them to be used as a natural coagulant.

Abstract

This research is intended to analyze the quality of tofu liquid waste, analyze the quality of river water around the tofu industry in Mejing Village and analyze government policies in managing tofu liquid waste. The research method used is grab sampling, observation, and interviews to obtain primary data. Secondary data from journal articles and research reports are used to support primary data. The research results show that the quality of tofu liquid waste has a pH of 2.8-33, a temperature of 41-51 oC and is not in accordance with established quality standards. Tofu liquid waste also has a pungent sour odor, yellowish color, and contains many suspended particles. Disposal of tofu liquid waste into the waters causes the river flowing in Mejing Village to be dirty and indicates light to heavy pollution. The government has set quality standards for wastewater produced by the tofu industry. Unfortunately, the tofu industry in Mejing Village does not comply with this regulation properly. The low awareness of tofu industry players to manage liquid waste is caused by various factors. Good communication between the government and industry players is needed so that industry players know how to process the liquid waste they produce. The government needs to supervise the application of government regulations related to the management of tofu liquid waste and provide sanctions to industries that violate it. Planning for a communal IPAL as well as an appropriate solution must be realized immediately so that the problem of tofu liquid waste in the tofu industry center in Mejing Village can be resolved immediately.
