| dc.description.abstract | Iron is one of the heavy metals that abundance in present environment. It differs from other metals through its chemical behavior, bioavailability and toxicity. It can be toxic pollutant which causing adverse affects severe environmental problem as well as to human body and natural ecosystem. Thus, the treatment on Iron in waste water must be properly conducted before discharge into water bodies. Commonly the technologies used for the treatment are effective but high cost. Therefore, this study was carrying out using sorption as a treatment method. The combination of rice husk ash (RHA), Palm fuel ash (PFA) and coal fly ash (CFA) are used as sorbent in this study. The effect of initial Iron concentration, pH, agitation time, agitation rate, sorbent dosage on removal efficiency of Iron was investigated. pH 2 was found to be optimum conditions to remove Fe2+ from solutions. The agitation time was found to be 40 minutes. At 60 mg/l, the removal efficiency was the highest while 0.9 g of sorbent affected the highest removal efficiency. Besides that, physical and chemical analyses have been done to study the physical and chemical characteristic respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the crystal structure that present in the selective sorbent while Scanning electron microscope was done to identify sorbent surface morphologies. Thus, from the study, this treatment method is able to remove Iron from aqueous solutions using waste-derived materials. | en_US |
