Abstract
The high number of dissolved organic matter such as humic acid and its derivatives as well as the color of peat water causes the water not suitable for use as a source of clean water. Processing needs to be done beforehand to make it as a source of clean water. TiO2-zeolite has been used for photodegradation of organic matter and color on peat water. TiO2-zeolite was synthesized from natural zeolite and TiO2 which were mixed in ethanol 99% and characterized by XRD and XRF. The effect of TiO2-zeolite for photodegradation of organic matter and color of the peat water was done by varying the time of UV light irradiation and TiO2-zeolite mass. The results showed that the TiO2-zeolite can reduce the content of organic matter and color of peat water. The decrease in organic matter reached 80.41% and a decrease in color intensity reached 60.39% on UV light irradiation for 5 hours using 375 mg of TiO2-zeolite
