Abstract

Abstract : Oyster shell as one of the highest bio-waste in Alue Naga Aceh Besar District, Indonesia, was used as an adsorbent to remove a heavy metal Cr (VI) ion. The study was started by calcinating oyster shells at a high temperature of 800 ºC for 3 hours. The effect of various acid (H2SO4) and base (NaOH) activator was studied using characterization and adsorption experiments. The characterization obtained the sample activated by 10% NaOH (Na10-ACT) and 10% H2SO4 (H10-ACT) had the highest surface area which had 14.23 m2/g, 10.77 m2/g, respectively. Furthermore, the adsorption experiments confirmed the highest surface area by showing the highest Cr (IV) ion removal of 57.66%, 70.7%, respectively. The further investigation using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) determined that the Na10-ACT adsorbent has a better composition compared to the H10-ACT due to its high purities.Abstrak : Cangkang tiram sebagai salah satu bio-limbah padat di Desa Alue Naga Kabupaten Aceh Besar, digunakan sebagai adsorben untuk menghilangkan ion logam berat Cr (IV). Penelitian ini diawali dengan mengkalsinasi cangkang tiram pada temperatur tinggi 800ºC selama tiga jam. Pengaruh penambahan aktivator asam (H2SO4) dan basa (NaOH) juga dipelajari melalui karakterisasi dan pengujian adsorpsi. Hasil karakterisasi menunjukkan sampel yang diaktivasi dengan 10% NaOH (Na10-ACT) dan 10% H2SO4 (H10-ACT) memiliki luas permukaan tertinggi yaitu 14,23 m2/g, 10,77 m2/g, masing-masing. Lebih lanjut, pengujian adsorpsi juga mendukung luas permukaan yang tinggi dengan menghilangkan ion Cr (IV) sebesar 57,66%, 70,7%, masing-masing. Investigasi melalui analisa XRF menyimpulkan bahwa Na10-ACT memiliki komposisi yang lebih baik dibanding H10-ACT karena memiliki kemurnian yang tinggi.

Abstract

Excessive and periodic use of insecticides has a negative impact on aquatic areas and the biota in them. Pesticides that accumulate in the aquatic environment affect the life non target organisms such as fish. In addition, pesticides can cause damage to the gills, liver, intestines and spleen. This organ plays an important role in the immune system. Thus, an alternative is needed to overcome this problem, one of which is the addition of activated charcoal in the feed. The aims of study to determine the effect of the use of activated charcoal in feed on the histopathological description of the spleen of tilapia exposed to organophosphate pesticides. The study was conducted experimentally by applying 4 treatments and 2 replications as the treatments used included T1 (0% activated charcoal); T2 (1% activated charcoal); T3 (2% activated charcoal); T4 (3% activated charcoal). The test fish used were tilapia measuring 7 ± 0,4 cm long with a stocking density of 30 fish/container. Parameters observed were histopathological description of tilapia spleen at pre exposure, post exposure and after administration of activated charcoal. The results of observations of tissue damage were analyzed descriptively qualitatively and presented in the form of images. The results showed that the addition of 2% activated charcoal (T3) in the feed was able to reduce damage to the spleen due to exposure to organophosphate insecticides.
