Abstract

The rapid growth of fisheries in Sorong city has led to severe marine pollution, especially elevated Cu II concentrations that exceed water‑quality standards and threaten both ecosystems and human health. This study aimed to develop an eco‑friendly adsorbent from agricultural waste, namely citric‑acid‑activated palm‑shell powder, for the removal of Cu II from fishing‑industry effluents. The palm‑shell powder was activated by immersion in 0.1 M citric acid for 24 h, which introduced carboxyl groups, eliminated impurities, and increased porosity and surface functionality, thereby enhancing Cu II sorption capacity. A full‑factorial experimental design was employed, testing three independent variables (adsorbent mass, solution pH, and temperature) each in triplicate, with a fixed contact time of 120 min, sample volume of 50 mL, and initial adsorbent pH 6. Optimal conditions were identified as 50 mg adsorbent (capacity = 8.354 mg L⁻¹, removal efficiency = 54.14 %), pH 9 (capacity = 10.69 mg L⁻¹, efficiency = 69.28 %), and 60 °C (capacity = 7.49 mg L⁻¹, efficiency = 48.56 %). The citric‑acid‑activated palm‑shell adsorbent demonstrated significant Cu II reduction in fishing‑effluent water and presents a low‑cost, locally available, and sustainable solution for the treatment of fisheries waste streams.

Abstract

Matoa fruit is abundant in Papua and has not been optimally utilised. Matoa fruit consists of ash approximately 3.74%. The high ash and silica content make it highly suitable as a raw material for zeolite production. Zeolite can be used as a zeolite material to adsorb heavy metal Cu(II). Heavy metal pollution continues to increase with industrial growth. Heavy metals can harm human health. Innovation must continue addressing heavy metal pollution, such as Cu(II), to produce more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly technologies. This study aims to determine the ability of matoa fruit zeolite to adsorb heavy metal Cu(II). The characterization of zeolite was done using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). The synthesis process involved preparing sodium aluminate and sodium silicate solutions, followed by controlled crystallisation at 105°C for 24 hours. The zeolites were tested for adsorption with the independent variable being zeolite mass, while the dependent variables were contact time of 48 hours and stirring time of 4 hours. SEM analysis confirmed the cubic morphological characteristics of matoa fruit zeolite, classifying the product as matoa fruit zeolite. The main findings of the study showed that matoa fruit zeolite can reduce Cu metal levels in sewage-polluted water with 88.85% adsorption at 0.5 g in 50 ml of test solution.
