Abstract

The activity of post-used battery smelting industries in the Cinangka area, Bogor, has led to the accumulation of lead (Pb) heavy metal exceeding the permissible limit of river water quality standards, negatively affecting both water quality and the aquatic environment. This study aims to analyze the reduction of Pb concentration in water and the changes in water quality parameters, including temperature, pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen (DO), following the remediation process using various natural agents such as corn cob biochar, vetiver, and local freshwater mussel in Pb-contaminated waters. The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design (CRD) with eight treatments and three replications over four weeks. Pb concentrations were measured at week 0 and 4, while water quality parameters were observed at weeks 0, 2, and 4. The results showed that the combination of the three remediation agents, biochar + vetiver + mussel (ABC), produced the highest Pb reduction of 99.3%, lowering Pb concentration to 0.009 mg/L, also significantly decreased temperature and turbidity while increasing pH and DO to levels approaching those of natural waters. Correlation analysis revealed strong negative relationships between Pb concentration and both pH and DO, as well as strong positive relationships with temperature and turbidity. Overall, remediation using the three natural agents effectively reduces Pb concentrations in water while simultaneously enhancing the overall quality of the aquatic environment.
