Effectiveness of Ipomoea Aqua Forsk in Phosphate Absorption and pH Neutralization of Detergent Wastewater

<p><em>One of the causes environmental pollution is direct disposal wastewater into environment. Disposal both originating from domestic (household) and industrial activities water bodies can cause pollution. As one example, namely laundry waste that discharged directly bodies. The high phosphate content in causing an algae boom reduce dissolved oxygen so it will result death aquatic biota. purpose this study was to find out optimization Phosphate absorption pH neutralization using Ipomoea sp (Ipomoea Aqua Forsk) Batam City. This research Experimental with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design design. Waste samples were taken businesses located kel. Sadai, kec. Confused. subject sp., object level contained wastewater. results treatment researchers carried I obtained optimal weight 500gr growth could levels 0.13 mg/L, 8.10 units, while II length time 6 days be able lowered 0.09 7.60 units. conclusion sp. 500 grams days. Suggestions are, business owners surrounding community are encouraged along ditches through which passes.</em></p><p><em><strong>Keywords: <strong><em><span lang="IN">Ipomea Sp</span><span lang="EN-US">, Laundry, </span><span lang="IN"> Phosphate</span><span Ph</span><span Wastewater</span></em></strong></strong></em></p>
