• The issue that surfaces from the digging of limonite and saprolite zones on nickel ore mining is the oxidation of chromium to chromium hexavalent. The aim of this research is to analyze the efficiency level of phytoremediation technology to reduce chromium hexavalent on waste water of nickel ore mining industry. This study was done in situ to observe the potential of Water Lettuce ( Pistia stratiotes ) using self-designed experimental devices.. This research was divided into three part, such as the variation of plant’s weight of 10grams, 20grams, 30grams, 60grams, 70grams, and 150grams with interval of an hour for five hours, variation of chromium hexavalent of 0.5ppm, 1ppm, 2ppm, 5ppm, and 7ppm with interval of 4 days for 20 days, and variation HRT 1.5 hours, 2 hours, and 3 hours with interval of 24 hours for 16 days. The result of this research shows the average of efficiency on observation one, two and three are 18.5%, 89%, and 28%. The usage of phytoremediation technology shows the potential to reduce chromium hexavalent pollutant.
