Abstract

Research on the slow release kinetics of Fe(III) ions from Activated Carbon/Alginate-Fe(III) composites or abbreviated as K/A-Fe(III) has been carried out. The aim of this research was to synthesize K/A-Fe(III) composite as a material that has the potential to become a slow release micronutrient fertilizer and to study the kinetics of slow release of Fe(III) ions from the composite. The K/A-Fe(III) composite was synthesized by mixing alginate suspension and activated carbon (alginate: activated carbon weight ratio = 1:3 and 3:1) until homogeneous. Composite grains were characterized using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the kinetics of Fe(III) release from the three composite variations found that KAlg31 composite showed more absorption and release of Fe ions than KAlg13.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a biomass waste containing lignocellulose that has the potential to be used as activated carbon to adsorb heavy metals such as Cu(II). This study aims to compare the adsorption performance of Cu(II) ions from three types of TKKS-based adsorbents, namely pure activated carbon (A.C), Fe-Cu metal modified activated carbon (A.C-Fe-Cu), and activated carbon composite with Cu(TAC)₂ (A.C-Cu(TAC)₂). Data were obtained from two previous studies and analyzed using first- and second-order pseudo-kinetic models, as well as Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Results showed that all adsorbents followed a two-order pseudo-kinetic model with R² ≥ 0.998, indicating a chemisorption mechanism. A.C-Fe-Cu showed the highest maximum adsorption capacity (389.47 mg/g) and the best fit to both isotherm models, while A.C-Cu(TAC)₂ showed suboptimal results. Thus, the modification of TKKS with Fe-Cu metal synergistically increases the effectiveness of adsorption on Cu(II) ions and has potential for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract

Indonesia, particularly North Sumatra, is a major producer of palm oil, generating significant waste such as empty fruit bunches (EFB) and ammonia-rich wastewater. Ammonia pollution poses serious environmental risks if not treated properly. This study explores the potential of three types of adsorbents—Fe-Cu modified activated carbon, AC-Cu(TAC)₂ composite, and unmodified activated carbon—for ammonia adsorption. Activated carbon was synthesized from EFB and further modified using Fe-Cu and Cu(TAC)₂. Adsorption experiments were conducted with variations in adsorbent mass, contact time, and NH₄OH concentration. The results showed that Fe-Cu modified activated carbon had the highest ammonia removal efficiency (90%), while the AC-Cu(TAC)₂ composite had the highest adsorption capacity. Equilibrium analysis revealed that the AC-Cu(TAC)₂ composite fit both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models (R² = 1), suggesting both monolayer and heterogeneous adsorption. The unmodified activated carbon followed the Langmuir model (R² = 0.9498), while Fe-Cu modified activated carbon did not fit either model. Kinetic studies indicated that Fe-Cu modified activated carbon followed a pseudo-first-order model (R² = 0.9936), implying physisorption, whereas both AC-Cu(TAC)₂ and unmodified activated carbon followed pseudo-second-order models (R² = 0.9779 and 0.9869), indicating chemisorption. These findings highlight the promising potential of modified EFB-based adsorbents for ammonia removal in wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the adsorption equilibrium of the activated carbon of empty palm oil fruit bunches and KA-Cu(TAC) on Zn(II). Oil palm empty fruit bunches are used as a bio-sorbent in making carbon at a temperature of 5000 C, the resulting carbon is activated using H3PO4 and modified into a composite with metal organic frameworks of Cu metal and terephthalic acid. MOFs and KA-Cu(TAC) composites were produced by reflux method. Activated carbon, MOFS and KA-Cu(TAC) were characterized using XRD. The adsorption process of Zn(II) metal was analyzed using AAS and determined the optimum conditions with various concentrations to determine the adsorption equilibrium. XRD characterization results show that activated carbon has an amorphous structure, while MOFs Cu(TAC) and KA-Cu(TAC) have a crystalline structure. The optimum condition of activated carbon and KA-Cu(TAC) at a concentration of 180 ppm with the appropriate adsorption isotherm model is the Langmuir isotherm.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the adsorption ability of activated carbon and Fe-Cu modified activated carbon in the β-carotene adsorption process on Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Empty Palm Oil Bunches (TKKS) are used as a bio-sorbent for carbon production at a temperature of 500 ºC. The synthesized carbon was activated using H3PO4 and modified with Fe-Cu metal. CPO quality parameters such as Free Fatty Acids and Peroxide Number were analyzed to see the effect of adsorption on CPO quality. The β-carotene level in the CPO sample used is 472.1 ppm. The optimum conditions for using activated carbon in the β-carotene adsorption process are a mass variation of 8 grams with the β-carotene remaining after adsorption being 432.4 ppm, whereas by using Magnetic Activated Carbon, CPO β-carotene after adsorption remains at 426.1 ppm. Meanwhile, increasing the adsorption time causes the absorption of β-carotene to become greater. By using Activated Carbon the remaining β-carotene is 300.1 ppm after 120 minutes, whereas by using Magnetic Activated Carbon the optimum absorption time is faster and the amount of β-carotene absorbed is greater. The remaining βcarotene after absorption with Magnetic Activated Carbon was 288.7 after 90 minutes of adsorption. Apart from being able to absorb β-carotene, magnetic activated carbon is also better at reducing FFA and PV levels from CPO.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the adsorption and desorption abilities of activated carbon and Cu-(TAC) composites in the β-carotene adsorption process on Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are used as activated carbon and modified with MOFs Cu-(TAC). Activated carbon and Cu-(TAC) composites were characterized by XRD, SEM-EDX, and BET. The concentration of β-carotene absorbed during the adsorption process was analyzed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The variations used to determine the optimum conditions for absorption of β-carotene were the mass variation of the adsorbent and the variation in the contact time between the adsorbent and adsorbate. The results of the characterization of activated carbon showed a sharp absorption in the presence of O-H, C-H and C-O groups indicating the presence of cellulose. Activated carbon is amorphous and the Cu-(TAC) composite has a crystal structure and its pore size is mesoporous. The optimum conditions for the use of activated carbon for β-carotene adsorption were the mass variation of 8 grams with 0.495 ppm of β-carotene and contact time at 120 minutes with 2.605 ppm of β-carotene. The optimum condition of the Cu-(TAC) composite in the β-carotene adsorption process was at 4 gram mass variation with 1.026 ppm β-carotene content and optimum contact time at 60 minutes with 6.384 ppm β-carotene content. The ability of desorption can be seen from the percentage of desorption showing activated carbon in the 150th minute with 96.252% while in the Cu-(TAC) composite in the 30th minute with 88.188%.
