ABSTRACT Fe content is a metal that is quite high in peat water. One technology that can be applied to remove Fe content is aeration. Aeration is the process of adding oxygen to water so that it can cause Fe oxidation reaction which will then cause Fe(OH)3 deposition. This study aims to determine the ability of the cascade aerator to remove Fe content in peat water with discharge variation…
ABSTRACT The volume of waste generation is increasing as the consumption of the Riau University community increases every day, where the processed organic waste material is 137.16 Kg/day, which has an impact on the accumulation of waste, especially at the TPS of Riau University. Therefore, an alternative waste management is needed to reduce the volume of waste that will be transported to …
The pulp industry generally uses wood as raw material for pulp making. The limited number of wood raw materials causes a raw material crisis. Indonesia is a rich country of agricultural and plantation products, one of which is pineapple leaves. Pineapple leaves contain 71.5% cellulose content that can be used for pulp making. This research uses semi mechanical soda method. The fixed variable of…
