Abstract

Based on the results by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the biggest pollution is water pollution, then air and soil pollution. One of the causes of water pollution comes from household and industrial waste. Based on these problems, we studied to improve the physical quality of water by utilizing banana peel waste. For the research, the wastewater was filtered using kepok banana peel with variations in the amount of filtration media and filtration time. The results obtained were an increase in the level of clarity of the wastewater from brown to a clearer color. For the pH value and TDS in the variation of the amount of filtration media, there was an increase in the pH value, starting from pH 4.9 and TDS 477 mg/L to pH 5.7 and TDS 316 mg/L (30 g banana peel ), pH 6.3 and TDS 310 mg/L (50 g banana peel), pH 6.6 and TDS 333 mg/L (70 g banana peel), pH 6.9 and TDS 348 mg/L (90 g banana peel). Then, for variations of filtration time, the results obtained were pH 5.3 and TDS 409 mg/L (3 hours), pH 5.5 and TDS 342 mg/L (5 hours), pH 6.3 and TDS 314 mg/L (7 hours ), pH 6.6 and TDS 303 mg/L (9 hours ). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the kepok banana peel has high effectiveness and has the potential as an environmentally friendly biosorbent, and it can be further developed with an activation process and other parameter tests to reduce the impact of environmental pollution
