Abstract


ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kondisi optimum fly ash sebagai adsorben dalam menyisihan logam timbal (Pb). Penelitian adsorpsi dilakukan secara batch dengan menggunakan larutan artifisial Pb dengan variasi diameter adsorben, berat adsorben, waktu kontak dan kecepatan pengadukan. Hasil penelitian diperoleh kondisi optimum untuk setiap variasi parameter adalah diameter adsorben 0,075-0,14 mm, berat adsorben 1 gam, pH adsorbat 4, waktu kontak 60 menit, dan kecepatan pengadukan 120 rpm. Dapat disimpulkan makin kecil adsorben, maka semakin luas permukaan aktif pada adsorben serta kecepatan pengadukan yang rendah menyebabkan kurang efektifnya tumbukan yang terjadi antar adsorben dan adsorbat.

Kata kunci: adsorpsi, fly ash, logam timbal (Pb), kondisi optimum.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this research is to determine optimum conditionof fly ash as the adsorbent in the removal of lead (Pb) in water. The research was conducted in a batch method by using artificial Pb with different adsorbent diameters, contact times and mixing rates. Result showed the optimum condition of adsorbent diameter was 0.075-0.14 mm with weight of 1 gram, adsorbate pH of 4, contact time of 60 minutes, and the mixing rate of 120 rpm. From this research, it can be concluded that the less of adsorbent size will lead to the larger active surface area and the slower mixing rate will cause to the less effectiveness of adsorbent and adsorbate collision in water.

Keywords:adsorption, fly ash, lead (Pb), optimum condition
