Abstract

Water pollution caused by heavy metal mercury is a serious problem today. This study aims to utilise jackfruit wood waste as a natural adsorbent in overcoming the problem of water pollution due to heavy metal mercury. The methods in this research include jackfruit wood preparation, hydrochar synthesis through pyrolysis, hydrochar activation, wastewater preparation, batch adsorbent optimum conditions, and dynamic adsorption process (Fixed-Bed Column). The results showed that the optimum adsorption condition was reached at 0.4 M HCl concentration, pH 3 and 80minutes contact time. The study also showed that the adsorption kinetics followed a second-order pseudo model with a rate constant of 1.712 x 10-2 g/mg.min. The research data also showed conformity with the Langmuir isotherm model, with an adsorption capacity of 63.036 mg/g. The results of this study prove that jackfruit wood waste is effectively used as raw material for making activated carbon for wastewater treatment applications in removing heavy metal mercury.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to assess the adsorption capacity of activated carbon derived from meranti wood (Shore spp) for mercury (Hg) removal from liquid waste. To establish the relationship between concentration and absorbance, the method employed involves calibrating mercury concentration using calibration curves. Additionally, the effects of pH and exposure time on adsorption capacity were examined. The results indicate that activated carbon from meranti wood can significantly adsorb mercury, achieving an efficiency level of 97.610% at pH 3, with adsorption stability reached within 80 minutes at an adsorption rate of 94.30%. The conclusions drawn from this study suggest that activated carbon from meranti wood is a sustainable and effective solution for addressing mercury contamination in wastewater. It also highlights the importance of regulating pH and exposure time. This research contributes significantly to the development of environmentally friendly methods for water purification.
