Pemanfaatan Arang Aktif Dari Limbah Kulit Umbi Ubikayu Untuk Menurunkan Kadar Senyawa Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (Las) Dalam Limbah Deterjen Rumah Tangga

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the ability of activated charcoal from waste leather cassava tuber as an adsorbent to reduce levels of linear alkyl benzene sulfonate compounds in detergents waste home. The methode used in this research is descriptive calculate the levels of linear alkylbenze sulfonate compounds contained in waste detergent. Waste samples taken from sewer water in some households. The analysis of linear alkyl benzene sulfonate compounds performed quantitatively by spectrofotometric method. The results showed that the addition of activated charcoal consentration of waste cassava tuber skin and long soaking have significant effect on decreasing levels of linear alkyl benzene sulfonate compounds in detergents waste home. The best treatment at 4 gr of activated charcoal soaked for 20 m in the detergent household waste can degrade linear alkyl benzene sulfonate compound on the initial consentration of 1.64 ppm
