Abstract

Laundry wastewater is a major contributor to aquatic pollution, often discharged directly into drainage systems and potentially causing significant environmental harm, such as eutrophication due to excessive detergent and phosphate levels. To address this issue, a study was conducted using phytoremediation, an eco-friendly and cost-effective method that uses plants to treat polluted water, specifically employing water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and kiapu (Pistia stratiotes L.), both capable of thriving in contaminated environments. The research aimed to analyze the quality of laundry wastewater and evaluate the effectiveness of these plants in reducing pollutant levels, focusing on parameters like BOD, surfactants, TSS, phosphate, temperature, and pH. The study involved stages such as acclimatization, water quality testing, a range finding test (RFT), and phytoremediation trials. Results showed that P. stratiotes reduced BOD by 83.79%, TSS by 93.81%, surfactants by 96.22%, and phosphate by 98.38%, while E. crassipes achieved reductions of 84.94% for BOD, 90.85% for TSS, 97.26% for surfactants, and 97.99% for phosphate, with the highest pollutant removal occurring on the ninth day. This demonstrates that both plants are highly effective in treating laundry wastewater and can play a crucial role in mitigating environmental pollution.
