Abstract

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) has very high COD (26,420 mg/L) and acidic pH (5.25), requiring a simple, economical, and sustainable polishing stage to approach environmental quality standards. This study investigates the effect of mesh size variation and stirring speed on the performance of unactivated oil palm fiber as a polishing medium for POME effluent with alum and PAC addition to reduce COD and modify pH. Laboratory-scale batch experiments used POME effluent from PKS Sei Pagar (COD 26,420 mg/L, pH 5.25), pyrolyzed oil palm fiber (yield 63.12%, moisture 4.88%) with mesh sizes 60 and 70, stirring at 50-100 rpm for 30 minutes, and alum/PAC solution (5 g/250 ml) at 4 ml/100 ml POME. The mesh 60 + alum 100 rpm combination achieved the highest COD reduction of 54.4% and relatively stable final pH.

Abstract

The palm oil industry produces liquid waste in the form of palm oil boiled water which has a high organic compound content, causing high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) values ​​and unstable pH. This study aims to compare the performance of activated and unactivated OPEFB activated carbon with 0.1 M H2SO4 in reducing COD values ​​and stabilizing the pH of palm oil boiled water through a batch adsorption process. The adsorption process is carried out in batches with variations in adsorbent mass, stirring speed, and certain contact time. Activated activated carbon is prepared using 0.1 M H2SO4 solution, while non-activated activated carbon is used without chemical treatment. The parameters analyzed include COD and pH values ​​before and after the adsorption process. The results of the study showed that 0.1 M H2SO4-activated EFB activated carbon had better adsorption capacity than non-activated activated carbon in reducing COD from palm oil boiled water and producing a pH closer to neutral.
