Abstract
ABS is the largest group of anionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants (AS), especially ABS are used extensively due to their impacts on ecosystems and are usually disposed of after their usein the environment. Therefore, they represent one of the main causes of water pollution. Methods have been proposed to remove surfactants such as adsorption with beads. This study aims to analyze the results of the synthesis and characterization of chitosan-alginate beads and determine the efficiency adsorption of ABS. The synthesized beads were characterized by swelling tests. To find out the maximum efficiency of ABS, ABS adsorption with chitosan-alginate beads was carried out by varying pH (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9), time (15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 minutes) and ABS concentration (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg/L). The results of the adsorption solution were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer.Theresults of theswelling test onbeadsfor 24 hoursreachedanaverage of 148.18%.The maximum efficiency adsorption of chitosan alginate beads was determined to be 46.46% with an initial ABS concentration of 30 mg/L at pH 6 in 60 minutes.
