Abstract

The decrease of hardness (Ca, Mg) and heavy metal (Fe, Mn, Zn) contents in raw water was conducted by flowing the sample water through the activated zeolite bed column. Treated water obtained from the experiment obviously met the parameter in standard requirement of drinking water. Activated natural zeolite from Cikalong, Tasikmalaya is able to decrease the content of Ca, Mg, Fe, and Mn in the sample water through the cation exchange process by percolation method with the optimum flow rate of 5 volume bed/hour on the zeolite with the particle size of -10+18 mesh especially for decreasing the hardness (Ca and Mg content). On the other hand, optimum condition for decreasing Fe and Mn contents are reached on the zeolite with the particle size of -10+18 mesh and water flow rate of 10 volume bed/hour. The final treated water contained 0,08 ppm Mn and 0,024 ppm Zn, meanwhile the hardness and other cations have been reduced below the required limit value (0,30 ppm for Fe, 0,10 ppm for Mn, and 0,05 ppm for Zn).

Abstract

Cikalong mordenit natural zeolite with the average of cation exchange capacity (CEC) 154,2 meq/100 g has been used on modification trial. This modification attempts to increases the rate of anions absorbtion of zeolite in solution. On this research, zeolite is modificated using HDTMA through stirring process on beaker glass. Before the modification start, zeolite is set on pH 5 using sodium acetate solution. Variables on this research are: zeolite size (–10+18 mesh, -18+28 mesh, and –28+48 mesh), and HDTMA dosage (50%, 100%, and 200%). Furthermore modification of zeolite is tested it’s suphaate and chromate ions absorbtion rate. The modification of zeolite showed that the range of HDTMA weight percent that covers the surface of zeolite is 4,21 – 13,49% with the range of exchange ion capacity rate 137,05 – 143,00 meq/100 g. The best result of the absorbtion rate test is the -28 + 48 mesh zeolite with HDTMA dosage 200% for 49,46 mg/100g (5,15 mmol/kg) sulphate and for the cromat ion on -10 + 18 mesh zeolite with 50% HDTMA dosage, the absorbtion rate is 61,05 mg/100g (6,36 mmol/kg).
