Abstract

Fly ash, a fine dust from coal combustion in steam power plants, is an unused waste material that can be repurposed as a low-cost adsorbent. One type of adsorbent that can be synthesized from fly ash is zeolite-like material (ZLM), which has a porous structure capable of absorbing molecules smaller than or equal to its cavity size. In this study, untreated and heat-activated fly ash at 100, 200, and 300°C was used as an adsorbent for acid mine water. Adsorbent mass varied between 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 g, mixed with 130 mL of mine water and stirred at 150 rpm for 60 minutes. The results showed that heat activation increased the surface area of the fly ash adsorbent, reaching 22.658 m²/g at 300°C. Heat-treated fly ash at 200 and 300°C showed a more significant reduction in Fe and Mn levels, especially with 8 g of adsorbent. Additionally, all adsorbents, whether heated or not, raised the pH of the acid mine water. The total suspended solids (TSS) were reduced to meet quality standards using 14 g of adsorbent heated to 300°C. These results indicate that coal fly ash adsorbent can be effectively applied for treating acid mine water
