Kultivasi Scenedesmus sp. Pada Medium Air Limbah

Abstract

The process of photosynthesis in microalgae require CO2 and sunlight and nutrients for growth. Cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. in wastewater media aims to meet the need of microalgae will reduce inputs of nutrients and chemicals contained in wastewater into the environment. Scenedesmus sp. cultivation is conducted more than seven days in the media industry waste water without the addition of nutrients. The highest density results obtained at the end of cultivation in the effluent water media valued at 8.033.333 cells / ml with 4.60 grams dry weight. Cultivation of microalgae may also reduce the value of Total Suspended Solids and Dissolved also decreased levels of BOD, COD, Nitrite, Sulfites, Sulfate, Iron, Chromium, Copper, and Zinc. Cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. can be performed on wastewater media without the addition of nutrients.
