Pengaruh Tinggi Unggun Pada Proses Adsorpsi Ion Besi (Fe2+) Menggunakan Adsorben Arang Aktif Batang Bambu Teraktivasi Naoh
ABSTRACT
The increasing contamination of heavy metals in water bodies due to industrial
activities demands the development of effective and environmentally friendly
wastewater treatment methods. This study aims to determine the effect of bed height
and flow rate on the adsorption process of iron (Fe²⁺) ions using activated carbon
adsorbent derived from bamboo stems and activated with a 0.5 N NaOH solution.
Adsorption was conducted in a continuous column system with variations in bed
height (15 cm, 20 cm, and 25 cm) and flow rate (2 ml/s, 4 ml/s, and 6 ml/s). The
activated carbon was characterized based on the Indonesian National Standard
(SNI 06-3730-1995), including moisture content, ash content, and iodine number
tests. The characterization results indicate that the activated carbon met quality
standards, with 7% moisture content, 9% ash content, and an iodine number of
983.475 mg/g. The concentration of iron ions was analyzed using a UV-Vis
spectrophotometer. The results indicate that the optimal adsorption capacity was
obtained at a bed height of 15 cm and a flow rate of 2 mL/s, with a value of 1.114
mg/g, while the highest adsorption effisiens of 93.8% was achieved at a bed height
of 25 cm and a flow rate of 2 mL/s.
Keywords: Adsorption, Activated carbon, Bamboo stem, Fe²⁺ ion, Bed height, Flow
