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.

Abstract

Research about the absorption of activated zeolite and EDTA-modified zeolite has been successfully conducted to absorb Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions. Natural zeolite used from Sarulla, Pahae Jae, North Sumatera. This research aims to determine the effect of activated zeolite and EDTA-modified zeolite to absorb Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions in the mixture. In this research, natural zeolite was sifted with a 120 mesh sieve, then calcinated at 300ºC, and activated with HCl 15%. The natural zeolite was modified with EDTA 0,1 M that was applied as an absorbent on Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions which each of the initial concentrations was 50 mg/L with variations of contact time were 1, 2, and 3 hours and weight of adsorbent were 0,25 g/25 mL, 0,5 g/25 mL, and 1 g/25 mL and also the determination of metal concentration was used ICP-OES method. The results obtained showed that EDTA-modified zeolite and activated zeolite were able to decrease the concentration of metal, but the absorption ability of EDTA-modified zeolite was bigger than activated zeolite. The result of the absorption experiment of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions showed that the best absorption has been carried out with a contact time was 3 hours and the weight of absorbent was 1 g/25 mL. The percentages of decrease in this research by adding activated zeolite as an absorbent on Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions were 95.99.77.92, and 81,62%, respectively. In addition, the percentages of decreasing by adding EDTA-modified zeolite as an absorbent Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions were 98.79, 96.07, and 97,54%, respectively.

Abstract

The research about comparison study of fabrication and characterization of bead chitosan hydrogel and yarn chitosan hydrogel from high molecular chitosan has been successfully conducted. High molecular chitosan was dissolved into 100 ml of 1, 1.5, and 2% of acetic acid and stirred until the chitosan was dissolved completely. The formed chitosan solution was then taken as much as 6 mL using a syringe and dropped slowly to form small beads into a Petri dish containing NaOH 0.3 M then string into a Petri dish containing acetone 1% and dried at ±50ºC. The bead chitosan hydrogel and yarn chitosan hydrogen results were characterized in which differences of functional groups on chitosan with beads chitosan hydrogel and yarn chitosan hydrogel that occurred in the highest spectra peaks was the band at 3433.29 cm-1, which indicated NH groups on chitosan had changed into an O-H group (3653.18 cm-1) on the bead chitosan hydrogels 1% and yarn chitosan hydrogel 1% which showed the existence of chemical interactions. The yarn chitosan hydrogel has better absorption capability compared to bead chitosan hydrogel. Due to the surface area of the chitosan yarn hydrogel being wider than the beads' chitosan hydrogel.
