Penyisihan Zat Pewarna Tekstil Methyl Orange Menggunakan Adsorben Magnetic Chitosan Microspheres
ABSTRACT
Industrial textile wastewater contains high levels of dyes, which can disrupt aquatic ecosystems by inhibiting sunlight penetration for photosynthesis activities. Adsorption is a simple method for pollutant removal, where the selection of appropriate adsorbents can result in effective water treatment. Magnetic Chitosan Microspheres (MCM) have been developed as a natural adsorbent (biosorbent) for dye removal. In this study, adsorption processes using MCM were conducted on artificial wastewater containing Methyl Orange dye. MCM were characterized using FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red), BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller), DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering), and SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) Magnetometry. The research aimed to investigate the influence of pH, contact time, and initial concentration variation on Methyl Orange removal. The best results were achieved at pH 7 with an initial concentration of 100 mg/L with contact time of 5 minutes achieving removal percentage of 93.60% and adsorption capacity of 187.21 mg/gr. Adsorption processes were also studied through an adsorption isotherm model. The adsorption isotherm showed a closer fit to the Langmuir model rather than the Freundlich model. The research data using MCM for adsorption demonstrated excellent adsorption capability in terms of dye removal percentage and high adsorption capacity. Therefore, this material can be an efficient adsorbent for the treatment of dye-containing wastewater.
