Abstract

Research on the efficiency of reverse-osmosis drinking water depot to decreased levels of iron (Fe3+), Copper (Cu2+) and Zinc (Zn2+) ions have been done. The raw, the treated, and waste water are filtered using reverse osmosis (RO) three times a week. HNO3 then was added to the sample until it reached 15 mL. The determination of the concentration of the three ions was performed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed a decrease  of Fe3+ concentration of 73.21%, for Cu2+ decrease by 80.25%, while Zn2+ decrease by 82.08%. For waste water obtained iron ion concentration of 0.1794 mg/L, for Cu2+ by 0.0239 mg/L, while Zn2+ by 0.0962 mg/L.

Abstract

Water is an essential requirement for human existence. In addition to traditional water usage, water is essential for enhancing the quality of human existence and facilitating industrial and technological endeavors. An investigation was conducted on the contents of Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) in drinking water from drilled wells in Surbakti Village, Karo District, employing Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) techniques. Sampling occurred during weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and was subsequently digested with concentrated nitric acid until a volume of 15 mL was attained. The metal concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, and Zn were quantified using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) using a calibration curve. The findings indicated a concentration of Cd at 0.0031 mg/L, Cu at 0.0470 mg/L, Fe at 0.2741 mg/L, and Zn at 0.2929 mg/L. In this instance, Cd produced a greater concentration of drinking water standards compared to Cu, Fe, and Zn. Nonetheless, it nonetheless met the drinking quality standards established by Regulation Minister of Health No. 492/Menkes/Per/VII/2010.
