Abstract

Laundry wastewater contains various pollutants, one of which is phosphate, which has the potential to pollute the environment if not treated properly. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a constructed wetland system using Equisetum hyemale plants in reducing phosphate levels and other pollutant parameters in laundry wastewater. A constructed wetland system was designed with sand equipped with Equisetum hyemale plants as phytoremediation agents. Laundry wastewater was flowed through the system for 5 days, samples were analysed daily with 3 time intervals to measure pH and Phosphate parameters. The results showed that the constructed wetland system with Equisetum hyemale was able to reduce phosphate levels by 96.75% within 5 days. The effectiveness of this system shows that Equisetum hyemalehas potential as an effective phytoremediation agent in reducing pollutant content in laundry wastewater. Phytoadsorption is the main mechanism in phosphate removal by Equisetum hyemaleaccording to the first-order kinetics model with R2 0.9014.Air limbah laundry mengandung berbagai polutan salah satunya Fosfat, yang berpotensi mencemari lingkungan jika tidak diolah dengan baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevalusai efektifitas sistem constructed wetland menggunakan tanaman Equisetum hyemale dalam menurunkan kadar fosfat dan parameter polutan lainnya pada air limbah laundry. Sistem constructed wetland dirancang dengan pasir dilengkapi dengan tanaman Equisetum hyemale sebagai agen fitoremediasi. Air limbah laundry dialirkan melalui sistem selama 5 hari, sampel dianalisis setiap hari dengan 3 interval waktu untuk mengukur parameter pH dan Fosfat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem constructed wetland dengan Equisetum hyemale mampu menurunkan kadar fosfat hingga 96,75% dalam waktu 5 hari. Efektifivitas sistem ini menunjukkan bahwa Equisetum hyemale memiliki potensi sebagai agen fitoremediasi yang efektif dalam mengurangi kandungan polutan pada air limbah laundry. Fitoadsorpsi menjadi mekanisme utama dalam penyisihan fosfat oleh Equisetum hyemale sesuai dengan model kinetika orde pertama dengan R2 0,9014.
