Efisiensi Adsorpsi Escherichia Coli Menggunakan Arang Aktif Cangkang Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) Dengan Metode Kontinu
Palm shells (Elaeis gueneensis Jacq.) is one of the materials that can be used as a good raw material for making active charcoal. Active charcoal can be used as an adsorbent for metals, non-metals and organic compounds. In this research, the potential of active charcoal from palm shell was seen from its ability to adsorb Escherichia coli with the continuous method. This study aims to determine the activator concentration and optimum grain size for adsorption of palm shell activated charcoal against E.coli. The activated palm shell charcoal used is charcoal with grain sizes of 30, 50 and 100 mesh with activator concentrations of 0.5 M, 1 M, 1.5 M and 2 M. Characterization of palm shell charcoal with adsorption for iodine and methylene blue refers to SNI 06-3730-1995. Pore volume and pore radius were analyzed using surface area analyzer with the BET-BJH method. Palm shell charcoal morphology was analyzed using SEM. The characterization results of coconut shell charcoal obtained an iodine adsorption capacity of 163.2696 mg/g, adsorption capacity of methylene blue 1.0021 mg/g. Based on the results of the BET obtained surface area of 16.174 m2/g, a pore radius of 2.1763 nm, and a pore volume of 8.8 x 10-3 cc/g. The optimum conditions of adsorption were obtained at the optimum activator concentration is 1.5 M with an average amount of E.coli adsorbed is 5.34 x 108 cells/mL and an E.coli adsorption percentage is 85.35%, and an optimum grain size of 50 mesh with an average amount of E. coli adsorbed is 9.17 x 108 cells/mL and the E.coli adsorption percentage is 84.67%.
