Aluminium recycling is one of currently growing industries in Indonesia. Abundant amounts of aluminium waste leads to the emergence of new industries. The waste produced from this kind of industry is not well processed yet. Bioremediation using isolated indigenous bacteria is one of the best options from treating the aluminium recycling wastewater. Since biological processes are closely related to the bacterial growth conditions, it is important to understand the effect of pH and aluminium exposure to bacteria. Six potential bacteria strains were obtained from isolation. Vibrio alginolyticus and Brochothrix thermosphacta were shown to be resistant to the aluminium exposure, as well as the acidic conditions. Both types of bacteria were able to survive on acid medium with pH 5. The higher the concentration of aluminium, the slower bacterial growth rate achieved. The MIC value of aluminium for Vibrio alginolyticus was 425 mg/l, Brochothrix thermosphacta was 325 mg/l and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 200 mg/l.

Wastewater that contains high concentration of nutrients can create instability in water ecosystem if left untreated. Laundry wastewater contains nutrients in high concentration. The nutrients that commonly found in laundry wastewater are nitrogen and phosphorus. This study had a purpose to determine the effect of illumination period and light intensity for the removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Nitrogen-ammonia (NH3-N), and phosphate (P) content using Chlorella vulgaris in High Rate Algal Reactor (HRAR) treatment. Variables that used were exposure period of 12 and 24 hours and light intensity of 2000–3000 Lux, 4000–5000 Lux, and 6000–7000 lux. The parameters tested to determine the efficiency of nutrient removal were COD, Nitrogen-ammonia, phosphate and Chlorophyll α to determine the condition of algae development. The results showed that the highest nutrient removal were obtained by the reactor with 24 hours illumination period with light intensity of 6000–7000 Lux that was capable of removing 54.63% of COD, and 22.15% of P. The 12-hour illumination period was better in terms of NH3-N removal, up to 50.07%. On the basis of the of statistic test result, the illumination period did not significantly influence the removal efficiency of COD, NH3-N and P indicated by P-value >0.05, while the light intensity significantly affect the removal of COD and NH3-N showed by P value <0.05.
