PEMANFAATAN ARANG AKTIF SEKAM PADI DENGAN AKTIVATOR NATRIUM KARBONAT (Na2CO3) 5 % UNTUK MENGURANGI KADAR BESI (Fe) DALAM AIR LEDENG
Abstract: Charcoal can be
activated becomes a good absorber to reduce some chemical in the water or in
the air. Some forestry and agricultural wastes can be process become charcoal
by carbonizing. Hush is an agricultural waste and can be process become
charcoal and then activated becomes activated charcoal. Fe content in public
water drinking in Banjarbaru is higher than healthy standard, needed some
treatments to decrease. Hush activated charcoal is used in this research to
decrease Fe content in public drinking water. Flowing the public drinking water
through the PVC pipe filled with activated charcoal is one way to decrease Fe
content. There are four treatments in
this research; 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 40 minutes flowing the water in the filled activated
charcoal in the PVC pipe. Fe content before treatment is 0,17 ppm. The result
of all treatments is 0 ppm of Fe in the water, is mean that 10 minutes flowing
is enough time to neutralized Fe in the water. Recommendation is activated hush
charcoal can be used to decrease or neutralized Fe content in drinking water mostly high in Banjarbaru.
