Potency of Peanut hulls as an Adsorbent Reactive Dyes Cibacron Red.
Abstract
Industrial waste water is an important problem in the environment impact control. Physical and chemical waste processing are very expensive and produce sludge in the huge amount. The dyes removal also could not be going optimum, the dyes still in high content on the product processing water. Therefore, adsorption method could be an economical and simple alternative to solve caused by pollution. Some agriculture waste biomass can be used as adsorbent, such as peanut hull. In this research, peanut hull as an adsorbent reactive dyes cibacron red was modified using 97% sulfuric acid. Adsorption was carried out with variations of contact time, adsorbent weight, and initial concentration of the dyes. Optimum condition of the unmodified parameter of adsorbent was 45 minutes, 1.0 g, and 100 ppm, respectively. On the other hand, for acid modified adsorbent the treatment were 60 minutes, 1.5 g, and 150 ppm. The results of cibacron red adsorption were compared to commercial activated carbon. The optimum condition for activated carbon was at 60 minutes, 3.0 g, and 150 ppm. Cibacron red adsorption capacity by unmodified adsorbent, acid modified adsorbent, and activated carbon in single solution were 476.34, 8837.00, and 3827.50 μg/g adsorbent, respectively. Removal efficiency in single solution were 4.69, 87.14, and 72.56%. Percent decrease of dyes using three kinds off adsorbent on textile industry waste were 2.03, 97.08, and 51.65%. It shows that acid modified adsorbent is more effective remove dyes. Isotherm type for those kinds of adsorbent followed Freundlich isotherm, with high linearity more than 90%.
