Adsorption processes based activated carbon from waste biomass and its application as a raw material ceramic membrane wastewater in processing kain songket

Abstract

The main environmental problem in the textile industry is the waste from the dyeing process. Heavy dye and heavy metals are water pollutants. The most widely used method in water treatment is filtration using membrane technology. Membrane technology has several advantages, such as separation process that can occur at room temperature and its use is not destructive. In this research will be made membrane with basic forming material such as bentonite, clay (clay), activated carbon as additive in filtration process. The activated carbon used is made from avocado seed which is carbonized with a temperature of 500°C for 1 hour. This research is used to know the influence of flow rate and the best time of contact with ceramic membrane during the treatment of songket wastewater and to know the result of ceramic membrane use with different type of active carbon raw material to the treatment of songket liquid waste which can fulfill the condition of the waste water ready dispose of by water quality standard. Parameters examined TSS, BOD, COD, PH, and turbidity. The contact time used during the filtration process is 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes and 150 minutes. As for the flow rate used 3L / min and 5L / min. From the result of the research, it is known that the best result of waste samples with 150 minutes contact time and 3L / min flow rate.
