Uji Efektivitas Karbon Aktif dari Tempurung Kelapa dan Cangkang Sawit sebagai Absorben Besi (Fe) pada Air Sumur Gali di Desa Bakaran Batu Kecamatan Batang Kuis Kabupaten Deli Serdang

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of carbon effectiveness active from coconut shell and palm shell as adsorbent on management of dug well water containing iron (Fe). This research was conducted with quantitative descriptive method, which is calculating the levels of iron (Fe) in water dig well with 2 factors, namely factor 1: type of activated carbon, factor 2: weight activated carbon. Analysis of breccia content in well water is carried out quantitatively with the Atomic Adsorbtion Spectrometer (AAS) method. The results of the study shows that the addition of activated carbon from coconut shell and palm shells and the weight of activated carbon affect iron (Fe) levels which is in the well water dug. The best treatment for 4 g of activated carbon from Palm shells (C2B4) can reduce iron (Fe) levels from 3.238 mg /l to be 0.324 mg /l.
