Abstract

Water is an important role for human being and other creatures. A water surface like river can be used for the needs of human as a place of saving water, irrigation, livestock, raising fish, industry needs, housing, and recreation. Therefore, the use of water to those needs has to be done wisely by considering its use to the future. The contamination of water can reduce the quality of the water itself and it can not be used for the needs of agricultural sector as well. One of the contaminations comes from a heavy metal like Plumbum (Pb) and Cromium (Cr). This research was done to reduce the use of heavy metal toward a water hyacinth plant (Eichornia crassipes Solms) with a continuous flow where the heavy metal which is set aside is Plumbum (Pb) and Cromium (Cr). In this research, there are variations of debit such as at 50ml/sec, 60ml/sec, and 70ml/sec. The measurement of the sample was done in the minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100. The result of the research showed that water hyacinth plant (Eichornia crassipes Solms) can cure water quality that has been contaminated by Plumbum (Pb) and Cromium (Cr) until it reached below the standard of agriculture. The highest efficiency of elimination came from the treatment with a debit 50 ml/sec with 45.5% for Plumbum (Pb) and 47.8% for Cromium (Cr) meanwhile the lowest came from a debit 70 ml/sec with 42% for Plumbum (Pb) and 43.6% for Cromium (Cr). Key words: Elimination, Continuous Flow, Water Hyacinth Plant, Plumbum (Pb) and Cromium (Cr)
