EFFECTIVENESS OF REDUCING LINEAR ALKYLBENZENE SULFONATE AND PHOSPHATE LEVELS IN LAUNDRY LIQUID WASTE USING A MULTI SOIL LAYERING SYSTEM
Abstract
Business Laundry provides various kinds of benefits, such as facilitating the activities of washing and ironing clothes and providing jobs. However, the waste generated can cause environmental pollution. One method that can be used to overcome pollution due to the disposal of laundry wastewater is to use the Multi Soil Layering (MSL) method. The purpose of this research was to determine the use of the MSL system in reducing the concentration of LAS and phosphate, the effect of adding aeration, and the percentage of effectiveness of the MSL system. MSL is a method of wastewater treatment that utilizes the soil's function as a processing medium. This method was made in an acrylic bath consisting of an anaerobic layer (a mixture of andisol soil and wood charcoal) and an aerobic layer (zeolite and gravel) arranged in a brick pattern which developed by adding aeration. The liquid waste laundry flows into the MSL system at a filling speed of 480 L.m-2hari-1 with added variations of aeration 0, 2, 4, and 6 L/minute to determine the optimum aeration needed by the system, then specify the effectiveness of the MSL system. The results of the research show that the processing of liquid waste laundry using the MSL system can reduce the concentration of LAS and phosphate optimally at the additional aeration of 6 L/minute. The effectiveness of the MSL system in reducing LAS and phosphate concentrations in laundry wastewater was 98.663% and 97.241%, respectively.
