Abstract

The increasing number of laundry businesses in Pontianak causes increased laundry waste, which is dangerous for health and the environment because anionic surfactants such as Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) are hard degradable. Photocatalyst is a method that can be used to degrade the LAS structure. TiO2 carried in coconut fiber can optimize sunlight irradiation in degrading LAS content when light reaches the water's surface. This study aims to determine the characteristics and optimum activity time of photocatalyst TiO2-coconut fiber in degrading LAS. Photocatalyst characterization was carried out using XRD, XRF, and DR-UV, while the optimum activity test of photocatalysts in degrading LAS was carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. XRD diffractogram analysis showed the peaks of coconut fiber at 2θ = 22.2º, 34.8º and TiO2 at 2θ = 25.3º, 37.8º, 48.1º, 55.1º, and 62.1º. The TiO2 attached to the fiber after being synthesized was 21.12%. The band gap of TiO2 and TiO2-coconut fiber is 3.21 and 3.18 eV, with light absorption at 386.5 and 390.3 nm. Photocatalyst was carried out in LAS with a mass ratio of TiO2 and coconut fiber of 20:80; 30:70; 40:60, and 50:50 w/w with a time range of 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The results of photocatalysis of TiO2-coconut fiber in a ratio of 20:80 w/w showed the optimum photocatalytic activity at 120 minutes with the highest degradation rate of 80.43%. This research is expected to be applied as an alternative to handling LAS in laundry industry waste.

Abstract

 The photocatalyst method is effective in degrading humic acid into O2 and H2 compoundsthat are more environmentally friendly. The photocatalysis process involves light andsemiconductors such as TiO2 to accelerate the reaction rate. Therefore, modification of TiO2is needed to shift light absorption to visible light by using Cu2+ doping and areca fiber. XRDcharacterization shows that Merck's TiO2 has shifted at 2θ, indicating that Cu has enteredthe TiO2 structure, and several peaks have reduced in intensity after being embedded withareca fiber, indicating that TiO2/Cu has successfully attached to areca fiber. FTIR resultsshow that TiO2/Cu has been attached to the areca fiber, which is marked by shifting andweakening the intensity of the Ti-O-Cu wave number absorption. The test results show thatTiO2/Cu embedded in areca fiber had higher degradation activity than TiO2/Cu withoutembedded, with a percent degradation of 54% for 180 minutes of irradiation. These resultsprove that TiO2/Cu floated to the surface of the solution can optimize irradiation so that itis effective in the degradation process.
