Abstract

The research is about the adsorption of heavy metal (Cu, Pb and Cd) in leachate of Terjun Landfill by using activated charcoal from biomass waste which has been conducted by employing complete random design with one factor which was the variety of the raw materials of activated charcoal (cob of corn, coconut shell, frond of palm, and sawdust) and three replications. The testing of the activated charcoal quality was based on the quality standard of activated charcoal SNI 06-3730-1995. The activated charcoal was tested their ability in adsorbing Cu, Pb and Cd contained in the leachate of Landfill. The results of adsorption ability of the activated charcoal showed that the activated charcoal from coconut shell yielded the highest Pb and Cd adsorption with 58.09% and 80% respectively. The highest Cu adsorption was yielded from the charcoal made of sawdust i.e. 59.52%. The results of this research demonstrate that the activated charcoal of biomass wastes (corn cob, coconut shell, palm frond, and sawdust) is potential to be used in the management of metal pollution in the environmenT
