ABSTRAK
Penelitian Fitoremediasi Phospat PO4 dengan Pemanfaatan Kol air Pistia Stratiotes L.
pada Limbah laundry telah dilakukan dengan tujuan mengetahui kemampuan kol air Pistia
stratiotes L. meremediasi phospat PO4 pada limbah laundry dan mengetahui pertumbuhan
vegetatif kol air pada limbah laundry. Penelitian terdiri dari penelitian pendahuluan dan
penelitian utama dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) 5 perlakuan 3 kali ulangan. Pada
penelitian pendahuluan menggunakan konsentrasi 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% dan 0%. Pada hari ke
3 pada penelitian utama tanaman pada beberapa perlakuan sudah mati dan layu, sehingga
disimpulkan pada konsentrasi 100%, 75% dan 50% belum mampu meremediasi secara optimal,
kemudian dilakukan penurunan konsentrasi perlakuan pada penelitian utama yaitu 25%, 15%,
10%, 5% dan 0%. Pengaplikasian tanaman pada limbah laundry dilakukan selama 20 hari
dengan parameter penelitian yaitu, phospat PO4 pada media, salinitas, pH, jumlah daun, dan
berat basah tanaman. Pengamatan dilakukan pada hari ke 0, 5, 10, 15 dan 20, phospat PO4 pada
jaringan tanaman diamati pada hari ke 20. Tumbuhan Kol air Pistia stratiotes L. mampu
meremediasi optimal pada hari ke 15 konsentrasi 0%, 5%, 15% dan 25% dengan hasil analisis
kadar phospat PO4 yaitu 0.00 ppm dan 0.94 ppm pada konsentrasi 10%. Kadar akumulasi
phospat PO4 dalam jaringan tanaman menunjukkan hasil yang beda nyata pada konsentrasi 25%
yaitu 0.57 ppm sedangkan pada konsentrasi 0%, 5%, 10 dan % mampu menyerap 0.07 ppm,
0.06 ppm, 0.04 ppm dan 0.57 ppm. Fitoremediasi menggunakan kol air Pistia stratiotes L. pada
limbah laundry dapat menurunkan pH menjadi sangat netral pada hari ke 20 yaitu 7.3, 7.2, 7.47,
7.37 dan 7,37. Pertumbuhan vegetatif jumlah daun dan berat basah tanaman pada hari ke 15 dan
20 menurun dikarenakan tanaman sudah layu meremediasi limbah laundry.

ABSTRACT
A study on Phosphate PO4 Phytoremediation with Utilization of Kol Air Pistia
stratiotes L. on laundry waste has been done with aims to know the ability of Pistia stratiotes L.
in remediating phosphate PO4 and to know the vegetative growth of Kol air in laundry waste.
L. The research consists of pre-experiment and main experiment using Random Group Plan
with 5 treatments and 3 repetitions. In pre-experiment, it was done with concentration of 100%,
75%, 50%, 25% and 0%. On the third day of main experiment, the plant in several treatments
had been died and wilted, thus it is concluded that concentration at 100%, 75% and 50% are
unable yet to remediate optimally, then the concentrations of treatment was decreased to 25%,
15%, 10%, 5% and 0%. The implementation of plant on laundry waste was conducted for 20
days in succession with the researchs parameter: phosphate PO4 at medium, salinity, pH,
amount of leaf, and wet weight of plant. The observation was carried out on day 0, 5, 10, 15 and
20 while the phosphate PO4 at plants tissue was observed on day 20. The Kol air plant was able
to remediate optimally on day 15 on concentrations 0%, 5%, 15% dan 25% with the analysis
result of phosphate PO4 level is 0.00 ppm at concentration 10%. The accumulative level of
phosphate PO4 in plants tissue shows a real different result with concentration of 25%, which is
0.57 ppm, while on concentration of 0%, 5% 10% and % are able to absorb 0.07 ppm, 0.06
ppm, 0.04 ppm and 0.57 ppm. Phytoremediation using Kol air Pistia stratiotes L. on laundry
waste can absolutely decrease the pH to extremely neutral level on day 20 which are 7.3, 7.2,
7.47, 7.37 and 7.37. The vegetative growth of leaf amount and the wet weight of plant at day 15
and 20 were decreased that remarked when the plant wilted as the result of remediating the
waste laundry.
Key words: Laundry, Phospate PO4, Kol air Pistia stratiotes L., and remediation.
