Penelitian ini
bertujuan untuk mengkaji penghilangan ion Pb²? melalui proses foto-Fenton
heterogen dengan menggunakan limbah karat besi sebagai katalis. Limbah karat
besi dipreparasi dengan cara digerus hingga berbentuk serbuk, kemudian
dilakukan perlakuan pengeringan pada suhu 100°C dan kalsinasi pada suhu 450°C.
Karakterisasi katalis dilakukan menggunakan instrumen XRF, FT-IR, XRD, SEM,
DRUV/Vis, dan SAA. Proses foto-Fenton dilakukan dalam sistem batch
dengan memvariasikan dosis katalis, konsentrasi H?O?, waktu penyinaran, dan pH
larutan. Selain itu, dilakukan perbandingan efektivitas antara penggunaan
limbah karat besi dengan suhu pengeringan 100°C dan 450°C, serta perbandingan
proses foto-Fenton heterogen dan foto-Fenton homogen dalam menurunkan
konsentrasi ion<!--[if gte msEquation 12]>
Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan bahwa limbah karat besi mengandung Fe?O? dalam bentuk maghemite
(?-Fe?O?) dan hematite (?-Fe?O?). Kalsinasi pada suhu 450°C menurunkan
energi celah pita (Eg) dan meningkatkan luas permukaan katalis. Kondisi optimum
diperoleh pada dosis katalis 25 mmol L?¹ atau
setara dengan karat besi seberat 45 mg, konsentrasi H?O? 125 mmol L?¹,
penyinaran dibawah sinar UV selama 60 menit, dan larutan pada pH 7. Katalis
hasil kalsinasi pada suhu 450°C menunjukkan efektivitas lebih tinggi
dibandingkan hasil pengeringan dengan suhu 100°C. Selain
itu, proses foto-Fenton heterogen lebih efektif daripada foto-Fenton homogen
ketika dilakukan pada pH 3 dan 7.
This research was conducted to
examined the removal of Pb²? ions through a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process by
utilizing rusty waste as a catalyst. The iron rust waste was prepared by
grinding it into a fine powder, followed by a drying treatment at 100°C and
subsequent calcination at 450°C. Catalyst characterization was performed using
several analytical instruments, including XRF, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, DRUV/Vis, and
SAA. The photo-Fenton process was carried out in a batch system with variations
in catalyst dosage, hydrogen peroxide (H?O?) concentration, irradiation time,
and solution pH. In addition, a comparison
was made between the effectiveness of using iron rust waste dried at 100°C and
450°C, as well as between heterogeneous and homogeneous photo-Fenton processes
in reducing the concentration of Pb²? ions. In this research, the concentration of Pb²? ions in the solution were determined using AAS
instrument.
The characterization
results indicated that the rusty waste contained Fe?O? in the forms of
maghemite (?-Fe?O?) and hematite (?-Fe?O?). Calcination at 450°C decreased the
band gap energy (Eg) and enhanced the surface area of the catalyst. Optimal
conditions were achieved with a catalyst dosage of 25 mmol L?¹ (equivalent to
45 mg of iron rust), H?O? concentration of 125 mmol L?¹, UV irradiation for 60
minutes, and a solution pH of 7. The catalyst calcined at 450°C showed higher
effectiveness compared to the catalyst subjected only to drying at 100°C.
Additionally, the heterogeneous photo-Fenton process demonstrated greater
effectiveness than the homogeneous system when it was conducted at pH 3 and 7.
