Abstract:
Salted fish scale has potential as an adsorbent for Pb metal removal from
aqueous solutions under different experimental conditions. This study was
designed to evaluate the effect of physical pretreatments and particle size
concerning properties of salted fish scaled. Adsorben from salted fish scale
prepared with 3 methods, that were washed with water, soaked at room
themperature, soaked at themperature of 80oC. The fish scales were allowed to
dry in sunshine for 2 days. The scales were then kept in an oven at 105oC. The
adsorbent was characterizationed surface area. The result, sample were washed
with water has surface area 8.095 m2/g, sample were soaked at room
themperature has surface area 11,1 m2/g, sample were soaked at themperature
80oC has surface area 19,83 m2/g. The maximum concentration for adsorption
Pb(II) on salted fish scale that washed with water was at 10 ppm which the
%adsorption was 28,05%.
