Phytoremediation of suspended solids and turbidity of palm oil mill effluent (POME) by Ipomea aquatica
Journal Title: Engineering Heritage Journal (GWK) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Malaysia produces 60 million tons palm oil mill effluent per year. Treatment methods are unable to pass discharge standards. Phytoremediation as a co-treatment could be used for anaerobically treated POME. Direct application of plant species in palm oil mill effluent has not been fully addressed. I. aquatica, illustrated in 28 pots with one liter capacity in 7 series and 4 concentrations of POME. The results of this study indicate that 80 % of suspended solid and 90.4 % of turbidity in undiluted POME removed with simple one-week phytoremediation process. Water spinach, which naturally grown around the POME polluted area, is a capable nominate for POME phytoremediation
