Abstract

Abstract. Various industrial, agricultural, household, mining, smelting, and chemical industrial activities can generate waste containing heavy metals such as Fe(III). Fly ash has the potential as an effective adsorbent to capture heavy metals in wastewater. This study aims to immobilize coal fly ash in alginate beads for the adsorption of Fe(III) ions from synthetic waste solution. To test the adsorption capability of fly ash-alginate beads was performed by varying the contact time (1-24 hours), the mass of fly ash-alginate beads (5, 15, 35, 45, and 55 grams), and the initial concentration of Fe (III) ions at 6, 8, and 10 ppm. The determination of the concentration after adsorption was done using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results showed that fly ash-alginate beads were able to remove Fe(III) ions up to 68.60% at a bead mass of 55 g, ion concentration of 10 ppm, and the equilibrium contact time was reached after 5 hours. The analysis results indicated that the adsorption mechanism followed the Freundlich isotherm model due to the heterogeneous surface exhibited.Keywords:Fly ash, Fe (III), Beads, Adsorption, Freundlich

Abstract

Waste from coal-burning power stations and other sectors that rely on coal as a source of energy is one of the environmental issues. Fly ash obtained from burning coal causes pollution in the surrounding environment. Subsequently, a great deal of study was conducted on the application of flying ash coal. Among the techniques for making use of the flying ash of coal is the extraction of silica. This study carried out silica leaching using Aqua Regia (a combination of HCl and HNO₃) with various ratios of 1:1, 1:3, and 3:1. The leaching process was carried out at varying temperatures of 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 °C, with a leaching time of 1 and 2 hours. Precipitates containing silica were analyzed for their levels using XRF. The results of the study show that the ratio HCl:HNO₃ 3:1 is able to extract more silica than other solvent ratios.Keywords:Silica, Fly Ash, Leaching, HCl, HNO₃
