Abstract

This study investigated the adsorption performance of activated carbon (AC) derived from jengkol (Pithecellobium jiringa) peel and its composites with Mg/Al hydrotalcite (HT) for caffeine removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorbents were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX, confirming the presence of –OH groups, M–O–M bonding, and layered porous morphology. Batch adsorption experiments evaluated the effects of contact time, pH, and initial concentration. AC showed the highest removal efficiency (96.44% at 3 ppm), while ACHT 12 demonstrated stable performance at moderate concentrations and fit well to the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9609) and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.9912). ACHT 21 followed the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.7758), indicating heterogeneous multilayer adsorption. Optimal adsorption occurred in acidic conditions (pH 3–5), which reflects the characteristics of pharmaceutical wastewater. The results confirm the potential of jengkol-based adsorbents as low-cost, sustainable alternatives for caffeine-contaminated water treatment.

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the constraints in the implementation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) learning across three senior high schools in Metro City. A qualitative approach with a multi-site design was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using cross-site analysis techniques. The findings indicate that teachers generally possess basic conceptual knowledge but face limitations in technical skills and access to continuous training. As a result, instructional strategies remain largely lecture-based, with minimal integration of technology. Students experience difficulties in understanding GIS concepts and show relatively low engagement due to the lack of practical activities. In addition, limitations in facilities, software availability, infrastructure, and institutional support further hinder effective implementation. This study concludes that GIS learning challenges are systemic and require integrated efforts, including improving teacher competence, enhancing training programs, promoting interactive learning strategies, and strengthening institutional support.
