Abstract

Environmental pollution originating from industrial waste, including waste containing heavy metals such as ions (Zn²⁺), is a serious concern due to its toxic nature, which can endanger human health. Efforts to treat heavy metal waste continue to be developed, one of which is through adsorption, which is considered efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. The use of composite-based materials, such as Fe3O4 and coconut shell activated carbon, offers great potential because it combines the magnetic properties of Fe3O4 and the surface area of activated carbon, thereby facilitating the separation process and increasing adsorption capacity. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of activated carbon derived from coconut shells and modified with Fe₃O₄ as an adsorbent to reduce the zinc ion (Zn²⁺) content in liquid waste. Activated carbon was modified with Fe₃O₄ to increase its adsorption capacity and facilitate the separation of the adsorbent after the process. Fe3O4-modified activated carbon was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to observe the surface morphology and texture, as well as to verify the success of the modification. The SEM characterization results showed changes in the surface structure of activated carbon after Fe3O4 modification. Adsorption tests were conducted in batches to determine the optimal contact time parameter. Contact time variations were tested to determine the adsorption kinetics (Zn²⁺). The results showed that Fe3O4-modified activated carbon had good adsorption performance for (Zn²⁺) ions, achieving a significant reduction in concentration. The optimal contact time for adsorption (Zn²⁺) was found to be 75 minutes, at which the adsorption efficiency (%) reached 90.1%. The conclusion of this study is that Fe3O4-modified coconut shell activated carbon is a potential, efficient, and environmentally friendly adsorbent for treating liquid waste contaminated with heavy metals (Zn²⁺).

Abstract

Eggshell is a part that protects egg components from various external threats, including chemical, physical, and biological factors. This study aimed to obtain an adsorbent from chicken eggshells using physical and chemical activation techniques. The quality of the eggshell-derived adsorbent was assessed and compared with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 1995, with a focus on parameters such as ash content, moisture content, and iodine absorption. The adsorbent obtained was applied to a solution of methyl orange, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was conducted before and after the adsorption process. Furthermore, the study stages include adsorbent preparation, activation, and adsorption. The adsorbent weight for this process was 17 grams, with time intervals of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 minutes. The results showed that both physically activated as well as physical and chemical activated adsorbents met the SNI 1995 standard, based on the parameters of water content (1.73% and 2.86%), ash content (8.18% and 6.745), and iodine absorption (761.40 mg/g and 774.09 mg/g). FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of a hydrocarbon and an OH group in the structure before and after adsorption. The optimum methyl orange adsorption capacity was achieved at an adsorbent mass of 17 grams and a contact time of 60 minutes, resulting in removal efficiencies of 20.38% for physical activation and 24.11% for physical and chemical activation.

Abstract

Abstract. Industrial wastewater containing heavy metals such as Zn²⁺ ions is one of the hazardous pollutants that can pose serious risks to the environment and human health. The presence of Zn²⁺ in aquatic systems at high concentrations can lead to acute toxicity, thus requiring effective and sustainable treatment methods. Adsorption has become one of the most widely developed treatment approaches due to its advantages, including high efficiency, low operational cost, and environmental friendliness. This study aims to synthesize and characterize Fe₃O₄/activated carbon composites as adsorbents for the removal of Zn²⁺ ions from wastewater. Fe₃O₄ was synthesized through a coprecipitation method using FeCl₃·6H₂O and FeSO₄·7H₂O precursors, and subsequently combined with thermally activated coconut-shell carbon to enhance surface area and adsorption capacity. The composite was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Adsorption tests were conducted using various composite masses 0.04 g, 0.05 g, 0.06 g, 0.07 g, and 0.08 g to examine the effect of adsorbent dosage. The best performance was obtained at an adsorbent mass of 0.08 g with an optimum contact time of 75 minutes. Under these conditions, an initial Zn²⁺ concentration of 30 ppm decreased significantly, achieving a maximum removal efficiency of 91% and 84.63% under other test conditions. These findings indicate that the Fe₃O₄/activated carbon composite exhibits high effectiveness and selectivity in adsorbing Zn²⁺ ions and holds strong potential for development as a wastewater treatment material based on renewable and environmentally friendly local resources.Keywords: Activated Carbon, Adsorption, Coconut Shell, Fe₃O₄ Composite, Zn²⁺ Ions
