Abstract

Abstract. Dragon fruit peel is a material that is abundant and cheap. The material has been used as an adsorbent in the biosorption process for the removal of metal ions of Cd(II) from wastewater. Biosorption of Cd(II) ion by dragon fruit peel was done on the variation of contact time, pH and concentration. The concentration of metal ions Cd(II) before and after adsorption was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Results showed that the optimum time was 20 minutes and the optimum pH was 5. Adsorption capacity was studied by both isotherm adsorptions of Langmuir and Freundlich. Results showed that the biosorption of Cd(II) ion using dragon fruit peel full filled the isotherm Langmuir model with the biosorption capacity (Qo) of 36,50 mg/g. The functional group involved in metal ion biosorption of Cd(II) by the peel of dragon fruit is a hydroxyl group (-OH).

Abstract

Nickel is one of the heavy metals which is very dangerous because it is carcinogenic and can cause a variety of acute and chronic diseases. Biosorption is one alternative method for the removal of heavy metals from the environment using a biomaterial called biosorbent. Biosorption of Ni(II) ion using cacao fruit peel (Theobroma cacao) with variation of contact time, pH and concentration has been investigated. The concentration of Ni(II) ion before and after adsorption was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The result showed that cacao fruit peel (Theobroma cacao) was able to adsorb Ni(II) ion and the optimum biosorption occured at a contact time of 10 minutes and at a pH of 5. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to study the adsorption isotherm. Biosorption of Ni(II) ion by cacao fruit peel (Theobroma cacao) fulfilled the Langmuir isotherm with a biosorption capacity of 0,21 mmol/g. The functional groups involved in the  biosorption of Ni(II) ion by cacao fruit peel (Theobroma cacao) are –OH and N-H.

Abstract

The dye of methylene blue (MB) is organics pollutant from chemical industries. The parameter of MB content are available as methylene blue active substance (MBAS) do not exceed 200 µg/L.  The treatment of MB dye pollutant can be done by adsorption process with TiO2 nanoparticle. This aim of this research was synthesized of TiO2 nanoparticle using PVA as surfactant and titanium tetraisoproxide (TTIP) as titanium source through sol-gel preparation to hydrothermal process at temperature 400 and 600oC. The result of XRD spectrum was shown the tetragonal crystal, the phase of anatase, and the size of particle was 1.66 to 3.15 nm. Infrared spectroscopy of Ti-O functional group was at 467 cm-1 and there were hydroxyl groups of the surface TiO2. DSC analysis was indicated the thermal stability of TiO2 at 250oC. Application of TiO2 nanoparticle as an adsorbent to photodegradation of MB with Hg lamp 150 watt during 60 minutes. The highest of adsorption capacity at the sample TiO2-600 was 217 mg/g and effectiveness adsorption was 81%. Isoterm adsorption process of MB by TiO2 nanoparticle can be obtained with Langmuir and Freundlish equation, with the determined coefficient value were close to 1. These results suggest of TiO2 nanoparticle was indicated highly potential to apply for the treatment of pollutant industries.
