Modifikasi Limbah Abu Layang menjadi Adsorben untuk Mengurangi Limbah Zat Warna pada Industri Tekstil
Abstract: Abundant supplies
of coal make
this compound as
alternative fuels, especially
for the industry. However, using
of coal has
shortcomings; incomplete combustion
of coal produces
solid waste that
often called the fly ash. Results of mineral analysis showed that fly
ash contain metal oxides such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3)
and iron (Fe2O3).
The presence of
silica and alumina
components allows fly
ash to be synthesized into
materials that have
structure similar to
zeolite. This material
is known as
zeolite like materials
(ZLM). This study
aims to synthesize
ZLM of fly
ash as adsorbent
material. To determine
the successful of synthesis
also has been
analyzed physicochemical properties
of zeolite-like material.
Then the results
are used as adsorbent of textile dyes. The results
showed that fly
ash can be
synthesized into zeolite-like
material, this is
indicated by the increasing of physicochemical properties.
The experiment shown that the adsorption ability of fly ash in the reduction of
textile dyes after modifiedis better.
