Abstract

Calotropis gigantea stems (CGS) has the potential to use as biosorbent for adsorption of Cu(II) ions. In this study, the CGS biosorbent (CGSB) was prepared by drying and grounding. The effect of independent variables on adsorption capacity were investigated. As the result, the maximum adsorption capacity of 53.457 mg/g was obtained the optimal condition which was initial Cu(II) ions concentration of 567.47 mg/L, CGSB size of less than 230 mesh, CGSB mass of 1 g, temperature of 27 oC, pH 5, and contact time of 60 min. The CGSB surface morphology was analysed using SEM. The adsorption of Cu(II) ions fitted well with pseudo first-order adsorption kinetic (PFO-AK) model (R2=0.99), and the PFO-AK adsorption capacity and rate constant obtained were 70.194 mg/g and 0.0877 g/mg.min, respectively. The adsorption isotherm of Cu(II) ions was in accordance with Freundlich model (R2=0.99), and the intensity and volume constants attained were 0.876 and 1.017 L/mg, respectively. This result showed that physical adsorption occurred dominantly than chemical adsorption. The application of CGSB on the wastewater of initial Cu(II) ions concentration of 389.31 mg/L from ex-mine pool of acid mine drainage (AMD) in Jantang village, Lhoong District, Aceh Besar, Aceh Province resulted in adsorption capacity of 37.52 mg/g with adsorption efficiency of 66.13%.

Abstract

Silicified coal (SC) consisting of SiO2 is promising raw material for adsorbent. The present study aimed to utilize the adsorbent of silicified coal bottom ash (SCBA) by calcination of the SC at the temperature of 600, 800 and 1000 oC for 1 hour. The FTIR result showed that the SCBA-600, SCBA-800 and SCBA-1000 had chemical functional groups such as the asymmetric Si-O-Si, the symmetric Si-O-Si and Si-O-Si bond rocking for adsorption of phosphate (PO43−) with the lowest percentage of transmittance of SCBA-1000. The adsorption test showed that a rapid adsorption occurred in the first 10-min of contact time, and it did not change significantly for the rest of contact time until reaching an equilibrium time of 30 min. The PO43− adsorption efficiency and capacity fluctuated over initial PO43− in solution in the range of 60.02–480.29 mg/L. The highest PO43− adsorption efficiency and capacity was at 480.29 mg/L, which was 95.49 % and 45.86 mg/g, respectively using the SCBA-1000. The adsorption kinetic fitted better to pseudo second-order kinetics model (average R2 = 0.999) with the adsorption capacity of 45.454, 45.662 and 45.872 for the SCBA_600, SCBA_800 and SCBA_1000, respectively, and the PO43− adsorption rate was 0.0007, 0.0008 and 0.001 g/mg.min, respectively. The adsorption isotherm followed Langmuir model (average R2 = 0.873) with the adsorption capacity being 2.357, 1.198 and 8.196 mg/g, respectively, and the pore volume being 0.0316, 0.0364 and 0.2103 L/mg, respectively
