Analisis Daya Serap Tongkol Jagung Terhadap Kalium, Natrium, Sulfida Dan Sulfat Pada Air Lindi Tpa Muara Fajar Pekanbaru
Corncob is a kind of side product of corn industry that produced. Corncob predominantly consists of hemicellulose (36%), lignin (6%), and cellulose (41%). The cellulose content in corncob can be used as an adsorbent. In order to utilize corncob as an adsorbent its adsorption ability need to be tested to potassium, sodium, sulfide, and sulfate in leachete at Muara Fajar waste disposal not only in corncob powder form but also in char form. An Atomic Absorbtion Spectrophotometer (AAS) was used to determine the content of potassium and sodium, while spectrophotometer of UV-Vis was used for sulfide and sulfate contents. Result showed that adsorption ability of corncob powder for potassium and sodium was higher than its char form (1,14 mg/g; 17,58 mg/g; and 1,095 mg/g; 16,85 mg/g). While the adsorption ability of corncob powder for sulfide and sulfate was lower than its char form (0,190 mg/g; 5,531 mg/g; 0,268 mg/g and 9,025 mg/g). According to paired t test method (p = 0,05), it showed that corncob and its char have proven and showed its effectiveness to adsorp sodium, potassium, sulfide and sulfate in leachete water from Muara Fajar waste’s disposal.
