Abstract

Laundry waste that is directly discharged into water bodies causes pollution due to its chemical content, such as phosphate. The adsorption method is chosen as an option to reduce the phosphate content in laundry waste due to its simple preparation and low cost. The adsorbent used is a mixture of coffee grounds and fly ash. The use of coffee grounds is based on the increasing waste from coffee shops, thus being utilized as an adsorbent. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of coffee grounds and fly ash with the best combination of composition and contact time using the adsorption method. The stages begin with the preparation of coffee grounds and fly ash through carbonization and activation using H3PO4. The variations performed consisted of variations in the composition of coffee grounds and fly ash with a total of 1 gram in ratios of 1:4; 2:3; 1:1; 3:2; 4:1 and contact time variations of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, and 75 minutes. Based on the research results, the highest percentage of removal was found in the composition variation of coffee grounds and fly ash with a ratio of 1:4 for 75 minutes.

Abstract

Robusta coffee grounds are widely produced in several types of businesses, one of which is the coffee industry (coffee shop). This pulp can be reused by business people by being used as an adsorbent and paired with the industrial waste. The purpose of this research is to identify the carbon of Robusta coffee grounds between before and after chemical activation. The methods used were sieving, drying at 25°C to 110°C, carbonization at 600°C, immersion in 0.1M HCl solution. Carbonization of Robusta coffee grounds was carried out using BET, FTIR and SEM. The results showed an increase in carbon surface area from 0.588 m2/g to 14.609 m2/g. The results of the FTIR method showed a change in functional groups on several peaks between pre- and post-activation conditions. The results of the SEM method showed an increase in pore size from 5.5 µm (before activation) to 11 µm (after activation). Keywords: Robusta coffee, Coffee grounds, FTIR, Adsorbent

Abstract

The growth and development of the population have significantly accelerated economic progress within society. Consequently, many new businesses have emerged, including commercial laundry services. One of the substances found in laundry wastewater, phosphate can cause eutrophication, which disrupts the balance of aquatic ecosystems. One method that can be developed to address this issue is adsorption technology. The aim of this research was to lower the phosphat content and to meet the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5 of 2014. The increasing number of coffee shops generates coffee grounds that have the potential to be processed into activated carbon. Additionally, fly ash a by-product of coal combustion contains silica and can be used as an adsorbent. The activated carbon is activated using 0.1 N NaOH and combined with fly ash in various compositions: 2:8, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, and 8:2. Besides the variation in composition, contact time is also varied 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, and 150 minutes. The observed parameters include pH and phosphate concentration at each contact time. The research results show that the optimal composition is 0.2AC:0.8FA with the highest phosphate removal efficiency of 60.3% at 150 minutes contact time and a pH of 7.1. However, the final phosphate concentration has not yet met the quality standard of 2 mg/L set by the Regulation of the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5 of 2014.
