| Summary: | Characteristics of domestic wastewater in Indonesia generally contain
phosphorus 4-15 mg/L. Phosphorus in wastewater must be treated to reduce the
phosphorus content according to the Indonesia: Government Regulation No.
82/2001 management of water quality and control over water pollution, maximum
allowable levels is 0.2 mg/L. A 1953 report from the Max Planck Institute in
Germany by Dr. Kathe Seidal discusses the possibility of using wetland plants to
remove nutrients from wastewater. The objectives of this research are to ascertain
whether Polonite, Gazobeton, Parepare black volcanic sand beach and Kadidiri
coral beach sand can be used as sorbent materials and to obtain the data of
phosphorus sorption capacity, efficiency and phosphorus adsorption capacity
constant of those materials. This research consists of batch and box experiment.
Batch experiment was conducted for all material by mechanically shaking sample
for several minutes with varying concentrations of the artificial phosphorus
solution prepared from KH2PO4 and wastewater. Box experiment was conducted
to evaluate the phosphorus removal by Gazobeton in long term experiment. The
highest sorption capacity was attained by Polonite 0.917 g/Kg, was followed by
Gazobeton 0.504 g/Kg, Parepare black volcanic sand beach 0.174 g/Kg and then
the finally Kadidiri coral beach sand 0.131 g/Kg. The phosphorus sorption
efficiency by Polonite, Gazobeton, Parepare black volcanic sand beach and
Kadidiri coral beach sand each Kg are 91%, 50% |
