Abstract:
Sugar-cane bagasse an agricultural product, contains of cellulose 37,65%. Cellulose
represent a compound which can be applied as adsorben. The effectiveness of sugarcane
bagasse was applied to remove magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and
nitrate (NO3-) ions from leachate in TPA Muara Fajar Pekanbaru, in comparison of
bagasse and bagasse charcoal. The adsorption of batch system was investigated to
remove Mg, Mn, Zn and nitrate ions from leachate. The Results of this research
indicated that bagasse and bagasse charcoal have adsorption capacity maximum of
magnesium 0,159 mg/g and 0,201 mg/g, manganese 0,096 mg/g and 0,128 mg/g, zinc
0,082 mg/g and 0,116 mg/g, nitrate ions 0,003 mg/g and 0,023 mg/g. Using statistical
method (paired samples test t) itnshows that bagasse and bagasse charcoal have
significant capacity to remove of Mg, Mn, and Zn from leachate but does not have
significant capacity to remove NO3- ions from leachate in TPA Muara Fajar Pekanbaru
