TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS BACHELOR THESIS Study Mode Major Faculty Batch : Full-time : Environmental Science and Management : Advanced Education Program : 2014-2019 Thai Nguyen, 23/09/2019 Thai Nguyen University of Agriculture and Forestry Degree Program Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management Student name Rizky Gustiani Vidya Student ID DTN1454290074 Thesis Title Peanut Shell as Natural Adsorbent of Wastewater Treatment Containing Copper-II- Sulfate (CuSO4) and Its Toxicological Effects on Oreochromis niloticus Supervisor (s) Prof Nguyen The Hung Dr Ho Ngoc Son Supervisors’ Signatures Abstract: High levels of water pollution can destroy aquatic life Pollutants are taken up by plants and animals and can enter the human body, resulting in many health problems The situation is worse in countries where people not have access to potable water, and in many instances polluted water is used as a source of drinking water The present study has been conducted to determine peanut shell as natural adsorbent of wastewater treatment containing copper-(II)sulfate (CuSO4) and its toxicological effects on Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) This study reported that the removal of copper-(II)- sulfate (CuSO4) from aqueous solution could be using pure and physically pretreated biomass from Arachis hypogea (peanut shell) which this material was indigenous, easily available, surplus by-products for biosorption studies The preliminary toxicity test was carried out with different concentration treatments to determine LC50 and it found to be 21.91 mg/L Adsorbent experiments used fish as bioindicators of heavy metal adsorption using concentration variations with treatments and replications The used concentrations of CuSO4 are 21.91 mg/L without adsorbent; 17.53 mg/L with adsorbent; 19.72 mg/L with adsorbent; 21.91 mg/L with adsorbent; 24.10 mg/L with adsorbent; 26.29 mg/L with adsorbent The results showed that Nile Tilapia mortality was still found in treatments using adsorbents accompanied by changes in fish behavior such as loss of equilibrium, change in body color, irregular i swimming activity, rapid jerk movement and aggressiveness before the fish died The adsorption capacity of peanut shell for adsorbent adsorption examination was effective during the contact time between pollutants and adsorbents and the absorption capacity occurred The observation of histopathological changes was also conducted on gill tissue using Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining Methods The observed changes in gills were congestion, curling bend of secondary lamellae, epithelial proliferation of secondary lamellae, epithelial rupture of secondary lamellae, fusion of secondary lamellae, and telangiectasia Thus, this study provided that peanut shell as natural adsorbents was effective to absorb water that had high content of copper Water pollution, peanut shell, Copper, Cu, Keywords: Copper-(II)-Sulfate, CuSO4, natural
