| dc.description.abstract | This project deals with the heavy metal removal using activated carbon and resin. The system comprises of 3 operation units: activated carbon column, resin column and the combination of activated carbon and resin column. The manufacturing industry generates wastewater that is hazardous to the environment and living organism. Thus, the objective of the project is to develop an effective method to reduce the heavy metal content in the wastewater. The prime objective of this research is to investigate the role and efficiency of both activated carbon type “Versatec” and resin IRC 718. The source of wastewater which consists of zinc as waste by products is obtained from a glove manufacturing industry in Penang. Parameters that will be emphasized in this research are retention time, mass of activated carbon / resin, height of column and also pH. There are altogether 11 experiments that have been carried out to determine the adsorption effectiveness between activated carbon and resin on 2 different heavy metals: zinc and copper. From the research, resin IRC 718 showed the better adsorption than the activated carbon type “Versatec”. It is also clear that the adsorption of zinc by resin and activated carbon is much better compared to copper. The adsorption percentage on zinc and copper using resin IRC 718 ranges from 93.83% to 98.96%. On the other hand, adsorption by activated carbon Versatec shows a lower percentage, ranging from 79.72% to 89.45%. Experiment conducted with a combination of resin and activated carbon in a column showed 100% adsorption compared with the single unit using resin or activated carbon. Adsorption isotherm studies is also being carried out to determine the adsorptive capability of zinc and copper. A comparison is made of the adsorption capabilities of the commercial activated carbon and ion exchange resin. On conclusion, the resin and activated carbon play an important role in heavy metal adsorption from the wastewater. | |
