Abstract:
This research was aimed to use the bagasse Charcoal as an adsorbent to increase quality of peat water. Bagasse charcoal made by was carbonization at 300oC for 2,5 hours and sieved 100 and 200 mesh. Absorption process was observed by contacting the bagasse charcoal with 100 ml of peat water for 30 minutes. The results of such intensity of color, turbidity and Fe metal content meets the standards PERMENKES RI "About The terms and Supervision QUALITY Water" no.416 / Menkes / PER / IX , respectively (1114 Pt-Co) (10.8 NTU), (0.148 mg / L), and (0128 mg / L) except pH.
