Abstract

This study discusses the processing of waste products from amalgamation process. The
amalgamation process produces liquid wastes containing heavy metals such as Fe, Mn,
Pb, and Hg which exceed the quality standards of wastewater both in liquids and
sediments that have environmental pollution impacts. In this research will be applied
method to coagulate (precipitate) solid material that exist in waste. Thereafter absorb
heavy metals dissolved in the liquid in the liquid waste. Coagulant used is papaya seed
and absorbent used is zeolite from hargomulyo mountain area kidul. From the results of
research the composition of coagulant and absorbent of the most optimum is to use
papaya seed extract as coagulant and zeolite not activated as absorbent.
