Pemanfaatan Limbah Cangkang Buah Karet (Hevea Brasiliensis) Sebagai Adsorben Untuk Pengolahan Air Gambut Pasca Koagulasi : Pengaruh Dosis Adsorben Dan Waktu Kontak
The rubber fruit shell (Havea brasiliensis) is waste product from rubber plantations that has carbon sources so can be used as material for adsorbent. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the used rubber fruit shell adsorbent in peat water after coagulation treatment with variation of adsorbent dose
(0,5; 1,0; 1,5; 2,0) g and contact time adsorption (15; 30; 60; 90) minutes.
The result of adsorbent characterization using FTIR showed carbonyl and hydroxyl functional groups. Water content and ash content of rubber fruit shell adsorbent with gravimetric method obtained 5,68% and 0,96%. Surface area,
pore diameter and total pore volume of the adsorbent using BET method is
12,986 m2/g, 145,07 Å and 4,710 x10-2 cm3/g. The character of rubber fruit shell adsorbent produced such as water content and ash content has qualified as adsorbent in SNI 06-3730-1995. Increase dose of the rubber fruit shell adsorbent in peat water after coagulation treatment can increase the intensity of TDS in the produced peat water, while increase contact time adsorption can increase the percentage of turbidity removal in peat water. The best adsorption conditions of peat water after coagulation treatment was contact time adsorption 90 minutes and adsorbent dose 0,5 g (A90-0,5) which giving percentage of color removal 66,08%, turbidity 98,61%, organic matter 11,07% and TSS 94,93%. Based on the result, only the odor, turbidity, TSS and TDS parameters of peat water after coagulation treatment using rubber fruit shell adsorbent has qualified with PERMENKES RI No.416/MENKES/PER/IX/1990 and PP No.82 Tahun 2001.
