Abstract

Chrome metal was the main element in tannery liquid waste. Chrome was included in B3 waste and has the potential to destructed or contaminated surroundings. The use of natural material as an adsorbent medium for b3 heavy metal currently was being studied. Tofu dregs were an alternative that can be used as biosorbent. This study's aim was to adsorbed total chrome metal in tannery liquid waste. The operating conditions took place at a pH of 7 and a stirring speed of 200 rpm. The analysis using Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS) showed that the total chromium adsorption efficiency occurs in the addition of 6 grams of biosorbent with a contact time of 160 minutes. The adsorption percentage was 98% and the residual level total chromium metal in the tannery liquid waste was 0,33 mg/L after adsorption. These results have fulfilled the quality standard of the leather tannery wastewater that was allowed to be released into the environment with maximum total chrome metal levels of 0,5 mg/L. The total chromium metal biosorption in this study followed the Langmuir isotherm and took place as chemisorption.

Abstract

The leather tanning industry was classified as industrial in large quantities and dangerous. One of the wastes that produced was waste liquid containing chromium ions. The liquid waste that was released was very cloudy, colored, and has rotten management that caused serious problems to water bodies, communities and the environment. The waste without special handling was discharged into the environment. So that with the ion exchange method, it could reduce environmental pollution caused by industrial leather tanning waste. This study aimed to determine the effect of resin in reducing the chromium ion content in the liquid waste of the leather tanning industry using the ion exchange method. Namely, by consolidating waste and resin with various predetermined variables. The positively charged chromium ion will exchange with the H+ ion found in dowex resin. So that the chromium levels in the tannery liquid waste could be reduced. The results were obtained by the contact time and weight of the resin used. The highest reduction in chromium ion content was at contact time for 80 minutes with a resin weight of 150 grams of 98.75%.
