Abstract
Phytoremediation is a method that uses living plants to remediate
contaminated soil, sludges, sediments or ground water.
In this research, water hyacinth was chosen as targeted plant to remediate
water contaminated with chlorophenol compounds. The experiment was carried
out in 4 different fiber glass reactors at room temperature. All of 4 reactors were
put under 15 watt TL light. This study was conducted with different kind of
treatments. Firstly, reactor contamed only with chlorophenol at 10 mg/L and
reseach was run until more than 24 hoiu-s. The others, treatments were conducted
with addition of nutrient, aeration and combination between nutrient and aeration.
Temporary result indicated that water hyacinth can reduced the
concentration of 10 mg/L o-chlorophenol up to 46.67 % after 24 hours contact
time for no treatment condition. At the same contact time and same initial
concentration of sample, the reduction of o-chlorophenol reached to 51.51%, 63.6
% and 66.67 % with the addition of aeration, nutrient, and combmation between
aeration and nutrient, respectively.
