Abstract

In recent years, various industrial activities have introduced a high concentration of iron in the waterbody which causes serious problem to environment. This paper proposed the application of Exhausted Coffee Husk (ECH) as the biosorbent (BS) for removing iron (Fe) (II) in the aqueous solution. The ECH was carbonized into biochar before performing biosorption of the heavy metal ion. The effect of carbonization temperature, time and rate on the performance of the ECH biochar for removing Fe (II) were evaluated. The percentage of removal efficiency (RE) and the capacity of biosorption (mg/g) were considered as the determining parameters. The pyrolysis temperature was varied in a range of 200-600 °C with 50 °C of interval, while the time was in between 1h – 3h with a n interval of 0.5 h, and the temperature gradient of 5 – 25°C/min. The results showed that the temperature had a significant effect on the properties of the ECH biochar as BS for Fe (II). The temperature of 550 °C, at 1.5 h of time and 25 °C/min was chosen as the suggested carbonization temperature of biochar from ECH for biosorption of Fe (II).  Keywords:  Agro-industrial solid waste, Biosorption,  Carbonization, Exhausted coffee husk (ECH), Heavy metal.

Abstract

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the biosorption performance of biochar derived from exhausted kahwa coffee (EKC) on removing heavy metal ion, Cd²⁺ in the solution. The operational parameters, for instance pH, dosage and contact time, were varied in a certain range and the efficiency and the capacity of removal were determined. The pH was in a range of 5 – 11, while the biochar dosage in a range of 0.075 – 0.15 g and the contact time was in between 30 – 180 minutes. The batch biosorption test showed that the EKC biochar had higher removal performance in alkaline condition, with a proposed pH of 10. Meanwhile, the applied dosage showed that addition of 0.1 g EKC biochar was more effective than adding more dosage. Furthermore, the batch experiments showed that 60 minutes of biosorption process resulted in more effective removal compared to the longer biosorption time. According to the ANOVA analysis on the three conditions, it was shown that the pH and contact time had significant effects on the removal performance of EKC biochar on cadmium ion in the solution.  Keywords: Biochar, biosorption, Exhausted kahwa coffee, Heavy metal ion, Operational parameters.
