Abstract

The use of detergent in washing activities is increasing in line with the population growth rate every year. Laundry waste generated by the use of detergents contains active ingredients which are harmful to the health of living things and can damage the environment and cause eutrophication. One method of processing that can be used to treat laundry waste is by using activated carbon as an adsorbent. This study aims to determine the best conditions for treating laundry waste using activated carbon and to be able to utilize laundry waste as a source of phosphate for plant growth. Laundry waste is treated with the addition of activated carbon as much as 5, 10, 15 and 20 grams per one liter of laundry waste with a variation of time 20, 40 and 60 minutes and a constant stirring speed at 200 rpm. The parameters analyzed were pH, COD, BOD, phosphate concentration and the effect on the growth of chili plants observed for 9 weeks. The results showed that the pH level remained constant at a value of 7, and the BOD, COD and phosphate concentrations decreased to 53.6, 227.3 and 0.178 mg/L, respectively. The adsorption isotherm model is closer to the Freundlich isotherm model with R2 value of 0.9835-0.9998. And there is no significant effect on the provision of laundry waste after treatment on the growth of the tested plants.

Abstract

Coal fly ash waste is a mineral residue in fine grains produced from the coal burning process from the coal-fired power plant. Coal fly ash contains chemical elements including silica (SiO2) which reaches 40%. Silica has many benefits in the industrial world, one of which can be used as a material for making silicone (Si). The purpose of this study is to make silicon and purify the resulting silicon with variations in the amount of reducers, and the application of silicon to make hydrogen with NaOH variations. In this study silicon insulation used silica:magnesium variations in a ratio of 1:0.5; 1:0,8 and 1:1. Furthermore, the variation of NaOH in the manufacture of hydrogen with concentrations of 2 M, 2.5 and 3 M. The methodology used is silica extraction by precipitation method, silicon isolation by metallothermal method, silicon purification with HCl and hydrogen manufacturing with NaOH. Silicone making is carried out by reducing silica with magnesium which is then in a furnace for 3 hours with a temperature of 650°C. The best result obtained at silicone manufacturing is a ratio of 1:1 with an intensity of 1905 cps and the yield obtained reaches 92%. Si 1:1 was then used for the manufacture of hydrogen and obtained the largest volume of 0.97 liters with a gas content of 2.647 ppm.

Abstract

Heavy metals can cause environmental pollution and affect human health. Cu and Zn are often found in the environment. One method to reduce Cu and Zn is to use the adsorption method. Adsorption has become a competitive method in the field of wastewater. Adsorption kinetics is one of the main factors that must be understood before the application of any adsorbent. In each adsorption process, linear or non-linear analysis of the kinetics was applied. A fit index (correlation coefficient or sum of squares) was applied to access the best model. The purpose of this study was to determine the adsorption equation model, to obtain the adsorption kinetics of Cu and Zn metals using a silica membrane. The methodology used is silica extraction by precipitation method and then the process of making PVA and PEG membranes as adhesives and solvents. For the analysis of metal concentrations of Cu and Zn, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) was used, while for membrane morphology analysis, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used. From the process of applying silica membrane to palm oil liquid waste, the results of Pseudo Order 1 absorption kinetics for Cu metal (artificial solution) with k value of artificial Cu metal (4M) 0.0596, and k value of artificial Cu metal (8M) 0.0022, while the Pseudo Order 1 absorption kinetics for Zn metal with a k value of Zn metal (4M) 0.0077, and a k value of Zn metal (8M) 0.0109.
