DAYA SERAP AMPAS TEBU UNTUK REMEDIASI MAGNESIUM, MANGAN, SENG DAN NITRAT PADA AIR LINDI TPA MUARA FAJAR PEKANBARU

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
