Abstract

The presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments has been known to lead to the development of bacteria with resistant genes. One type of antibiotic that has been found in the environment is trimethoprim, necessitating methods to remove this substance from the environment. Adsorption is a process that has been extensively studied in the field of water remediation. This study aims to investigate the adsorption of trimethoprim by granular activated carbon (GAC). Experiments were conducted by creating artificial wastewater containing distilled water and trimethoprim, which was then contacted with the adsorbent with variations in pH and trimethoprim concentration measured periodically up to the 3rd hour. Trimethoprim detection was performed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The contact time required to reach equilibrium increased with the initial concentration of trimethoprim. The variations in initial trimethoprim concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 35, and 50 mg/L reached adsorption equilibrium after a contact time of 180 minutes with a GAC mass of 3 grams. All the percentages of trimethoprim removal after the contact time of 180 minutes at various concentrations used in this study were above 98%. The pH level has been proven to affect the trimethoprim removal process. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model has a high correlation with the adsorption process of trimethoprim by GAC. The isotherm model suitable for the interaction between trimethoprim and GAC was the Freundlich model.

Abstract

Universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is a basic human right that reflects well-being. However, disparities in access to WASH persist in Indonesia, influenced by economic factors, education and sanitation behaviours. In urban areas, urban poverty exacerbates the gap in access to WASH, with the urban poor vulnerable to inadequate sanitation due to economic and knowledge constraints. In Kecamatan Bandung Wetan, which is located in the middle of Bandung city, this condition is still found, where low-income groups are vulnerable to the fulfilment of proper sanitation. The sanitation index is a tool to evaluate the sanitation system in a community. The sanitation index was analysed using exploratory factor analysis. The variables that make up the index are based on the 5 pillars of Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS). The results of the analysis show that the sanitation index in Kecamatan Bandung Wetan is built by the factors of clean water use, household welfare, low prevalence of environmental diseases, faecal user interface, and final disposal of household waste, with the highest sanitation index value found in Kelurahan Citarum.
