Abstract

Tofu waste is the remaining or unused waste material from the tofu making process. Krajan Village is one of the areas where tofu industry can easily be found around it. The community who are tofu industry players usually dump their waste into the river. Liquid and solid waste from the tofu industry can reduce environmental quality and affect living things if not managed properly before being discharged into the drain. In addition, polluted river water can contain hazardous substances that have a negative impact on flora and fauna and increase the risk of disease for people whose lives depend on river water for their daily needs. Therefore, this waste must be treated first to meet the appropriate water quality standards before being discharged into the airway. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of air pollution produced by the tofu industry in the river, identify the main sources of pollution in the Krajan River, and develop appropriate and appropriate mitigation strategies to overcome pollution problems on its way to its destination. The results of the study showed that the TDS, temperature, and pH parameters that had been tested in the Krajan River were below the reference quality standard limits, namely the Central Java Provincial Regulation Number 5 of 2012 concerning Wastewater Quality Standards. However, residents around the river still feel the impacts, such as the unpleasant odor that is often smelled in the air and dust from tofu industry activities that disrupt daily activities due to river pollution from tofu industry waste, household waste, and livestock waste that is dumped directly without prior processing.

Abstract

Farming activities, especially catfish Farming, as carried out by the community in Kampung Lele, Boyolali, Indonesia cannot be separated from producing waste. Water pollution caused by catfish farming waste can be identified through increased ammonia levels. This research aims to determine whether the density of duckweed (Lemna minor) can influence changes in ammonia levels in liquid waste from catfish Farming and to determine the ammonia levels in liquid waste from catfish Farming after treatment with duckweed. The research is phytoremediation research using duckweed. The research used a completely randomized design in data collection carried out with 6 variations (0 plants, 150 plants, 300 plants, 450 plants, 600 plants, 750 plants) for 15 days starting from the first day and continuing every 2 days. The repetition carried out in the research was 4 repetitions which were based on the Federer formula. The data obtained were analyzed using two way ANOVA analysis and further tested with Duncan's post hoc test using the SPSS application. The results obtained in the form of ammonia levels after treatment decreased, namely 0.6 ppm on A150, 0.5 ppm on A300, 0.5 ppm on A450, 0.45 ppm on A600, and 0.4 ppm on A750. The density of duckweed can influence changes in ammonia levels in liquid waste from catfish Farming, through two way ANOVA analysis which obtained a sig value. equal to 0.00 or < 0.05, then there is a difference in the average ammonia based on density and time, so that in Duncan's post hoc follow-up test we found variations in A750 on the 11th day with 0.475 ppm ammonia and A600 on the 15th day with ammonia 0.45 ppm meets quality standards.

Abstract

The primary concern associated with the Batik industry lies in the presence of pollutant dyes that contribute to environmental contamination. Addressing this issue involves exploring various wastewater treatment methods, with membrane technology being a viable approach. In this study, a photocatalytic material, NiFe@SiO2, synthesized through the sol-gel technique, was incorporated into a PVDF membrane. Characterization results from SEM surface, indicated that the PVDF/NiFe@SiO2 membrane displayed superior characteristics compared to other membranes. The addition of the NiFe@SiO2 photocatalyst increased membrane porosity, hydrophilicity, water absorption capacity, and affinity towards water molecules. The PVDF/NiFe@SiO2 membrane exhibited enhanced performance in terms of permeate flux, pollutant rejection, stability, recyclability, and durability. Notably, the fabricated photocatalytic membrane demonstrated superior antifouling performance and flux recovery capability when operating under UV radiation. The study also delved into the influence of wastewater pretreatment on antifouling membrane performance. The modified membrane successfully reduced fouling levels on the membrane by enhancing FRR from ~70% to ~90%. This insight into how pretreatment affects the antifouling properties of wastewater opens avenues for innovative solutions and enhanced design strategies to improve the efficiency and sustainability of wastewater treatment processes. Future research endeavors could focus on maximizing the potential of the bentonite adsorbent in wastewater pretreatment and exploring the full capabilities of the NiFe@SiO2 photocatalyst in enhancing the photocatalytic and antifouling performance of the membrane.
