The improvement of the batik industry besides having a positive influence on improving the economy and the welfare of the community also has negative impacts. One of the negative impacts is the emergence of batik industry waste water in quite large quantities. Therefore the use of natural dyes is seen as an alternative effort in terms of minimizing the quantity of batik waste. The batik production process involves heavy metal elements so that the waste also contains heavy metal elements which can potentially pollute the environment. Some batik industries in Yogyakarta do not yet have a waste treatment plant so that the waste is directly discharged into the environment. In this study an analysis of heavy metal elements contained in natural dyes are Tegeran (Cudrania Javanensis) and Jalawe (Terminalia bellirica) by the neutron activation analysis method and enumeration was carried out using a spectrometry detector conducted at Centre of Science and Accelerator Technology-Yogyakarta. This Research state that some metal element Tegeran (Cudrania Javanensis are Th-227, Gd- 161, Kr-88, Na-24,I-135 dan K-40. While Metal elemen in Jalawe (Terminalia bellirica) are Th-227, Rh-104, Ir-192, Br-84, Tl-208, I-135, Eu-152, I-134, Y-92 dan K-40. The use of natural dyes with optimal fixation will produce different color variations. This is because the bonding of metal elements with each metal type in the fixator will form different chemical bonds. It is hoped that by analyzing the metal content of natural dyes, batik performers can use natural dyes optimally and can minimalize wastewater in batik industry. The first section in your paper.
