“…Growth performance of vetiver as phytoremediator of batik production wastewater is elaborated in detail and published elsewhere (Tambunan et al, 2018). Below water quality improvement is described following remediation process, considering especially nitrogen concentrations (TAN, NH 4 + , NH 3 ) and chromium reduction.…”

Abstract. Waste of batik industry that is not well processed potentially contaminate the aquatic environment. Liquid waste concentration of 0%, 50%, 75%, and 100% was applied to vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides L.) grown in floating wetland system for treatment of batik industry liquid waste. Research was conducted in Akademi Kimia Analis (AKA) Bogor, Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the ability of vetiver for reducing the concentration of NH 3 and NH 4 + , TAN, BOD, COD, and total chromium. 50% of batik waste water was revealed to be the most suitable concentration treated by vetiver in floating wetland, since it could reduce not only ammonia, confirmed by biplot analysis, but also 40.29% total chromium concentration.

“…Since the uptake of contaminants can affect the overall health and growth of the plant, which could be indicated by Chl content in plant shoot tissue [ 61 , 67 ], it is implied that the overall health of vetiver grass was not significantly influenced in this study. In comparison, our previous studies have shown that CIP negatively affects the chlorophyll content of vetiver grass [ 59 ].…”

Overuse of antibiotics has resulted in widespread contamination of the environment and triggered antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not equipped to remove antibiotics. Effluents from WWTPs are usually the primary source of antibiotics in aquatic environments. There is an urgent need for cost-effective, environment-friendly technologies to address this issue. Along with antibiotics, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) are also present in conventional WWTP effluents at high concentrations, causing environmental problems like eutrophication. In this study, we tested vetiver grass in a plug flow reactor-based constructed wetland model in a greenhouse setup for removing antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline (TTC), and nutrients, N and P, from secondary wastewater effluent. The constructed wetland was designed based on a previous batch reaction kinetics study and reached a steady-state in 7 days. The measured concentrations of antibiotics were generally consistent with the modeling predictions using first-order reaction kinetics. Vetiver grass significantly (p < 0.05) removed 93% and 97% of CIP and TTC (initial concentrations of 10 mg/L), simultaneously with 93% and 84% nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively. Results show that using vetiver grass in constructed wetlands could be a viable green technology for the removal of antibiotics and nutrients from wastewater.

“…Mining and manufacturing industries, such as electroplating, contribute an immense quantity of heavy metals that pollute the air, soil, and groundwater [10,18,22,29]. Phytoremediation represents a promising method for heavy metal removal as it is accessible, costeffective, and environmentally friendly for remediation of contaminated areas [33]. Two of the strategies of phytoremediation are phytoextraction and phytostabilization.…”

“…The studies conducted have also shown that C. zizanioides is highly tolerant to extreme soil conditions, has a long and complex rooting system, and is remarkably effective at absorbing organic and inorganic pollutants. C. zizanioides are also proven to be able to improve wastewater quality, such as biogas wastewater, palm oil wastewater, trichloroethylene (TCE) wastewater-contaminated soil, and batik liquid wastewater [33].…”

Uptake and release of chromium and nickel by Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty)

The effectiveness of using Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) in phytoremediation of wastewater has been proven. In this study, the phytoremediation potential of C. zizanioides planted in Cr- and Ni-contaminated soil was evaluated through investigating the behaviors on uptake and release of metals. Three treatments: control, Cr, and Ni, with three concentrations (50, 150, and 300 ppm), were applied. The potential of C. zizanioides is assessed by the determination of metal uptake rate, metal release rate, bioconcentration factor (BCF), biological absorption coefficient (BAC), and translocation factor (TF). The experiment showed that Cr uptake was higher than release rate and on the other hand low in uptake and release of Ni. Accumulation of Cr and Ni was 167.8 mg kg−1 and 66.3 mg kg−1, respectively. Excess of Cr in the soil was absorbed in high uptake rate making vetiver grass suitable for Cr phytoremediation. During 28-day uptake and 28-day release periods, it was found that BCF, BAC, and TF values in some treatments showed greater than 1 (one) and Ni-treated plants were able to translocate Ni to aerial plant parts supported by its high TF value. Low acidity of soil causes low solubility and low mobility of metals, resulting in low metal absorption. C. zizanioides has shown the potential as a heavy metal-tolerant species and could be potentially used as phytoremediation alternative species at least in lightly polluted areas.
