Abstract


Nitrobenzene is one of organic compound that usually contained in industrial wastewater, which is toxic. Nitrobenzene can be found in the chemical and pesticides industry. Nitrobenzene, which also known as nitrobenzol, is dangerous organic chemical for organism because can cause death. Organic waste in aqueous solution are usually removed by adsorption. In the adsorption process, adsorbent that usually used are carbon active and organic adsorbent. Neem leaf one of organic adsorbent that effective used in the adsorption process because it has a low cost dan easy to get. In this adsorption process, neem leaf used as a adsorbent. Neem leaf powder characterization with Boehm’s titration and proxymate analysis, which contain moisture content, water content, carbon, and volatile matter. Isoterm adsorption process of  nitrobenzene is appropriated with Freundlich equation and Langmuir equation. And the result of kinetic adsorption is appropriated with pseudo first order and pseudo second order. From the experimenal result, it can be seen that adsorption of nitrobenzene by neem leaf powder is using Langmuir equation in isoterm adsorption and follow pseudo first order in kinetic adsorption.

Keywords : Adsorption, neem leaf powder, nitrobenzene


Abstrak

Nitrobenzene merupakan salah satu zat organik yang biasanya terkandung dalam limbah industri dimana Nitrobenzene sangat sulit diolah sebelum dibuang karena sifatnya yang sangat kompleks. Limbah yang mengandung nitrobenzene ini dapat ditemukan pada industri pestisida, sabun, dan farmasi. Nitrobenzene yang juga disebut nitrobenzol, merupakan bahan kimia organik yang berbahaya bagi mahluk hidup karena dapat menyebabkan kematian. Adsorpsi adalah salah satu cara yang dapat digunakan untuk mengatasi limbah nitrobenzene ini. Dalam proses adsorpsi, bahan penyerap yang umum digunakan adalah karbon aktif dan bahan penyerap organik. Daun intaran merupakan salah satu dari bahan penyerap organik yang efektif digunakan dalam proses adsorpsi karena biayanya yang murah dan mudah didapat. Pada penelitian ini, daun intaran digunakan untuk menyerap zat organik nitrobenzene. Karakterisasi bubuk daun intaran sendiri dilakukan dengan titrasi Boehm dan analisa proximat yang meliputi kandungan abu, air, karbon, dan volatile matter. Proses isoterm adsorpsi nitrobenzene ini disesuaikan dengan persamaan Freundlich dan persamaan Langmuir, sedangkan hasil kinetika adsorpsi disesuaikan dengan menggunakan pseudo first order dan pseudo second order. Dari hasil percobaan, didapatkan hasil bahwa proses adsorpsi nitrobenzene dengan menggunakan bubuk daun intaran ini mengikuti persamaan Langmuir pada isoterm adsorpsinya dan mengikuti persamaan pseudo first order pada kinetika adsorpsinya.

Kata Kunci : Adsorpsi, bubuk daun intaran, nitrobenzene
