Abstract: The presence of excessive phosphates in water bodies causes a phenomenon of eutrophication that
significantly enables algae and aquatic plants to multiply rapidly. The result of the laboratory test showed
the average initial phosphate content of laundry liquid waste before the study was 18
.4 mg/l. This research
aimed at comparing the efficacy of activated carbon and Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) in minimizing the
phosphate levels in liquid waste laundry X. The method used was a quasi-experiment research type with
pre-test and post-test design
. The population was all laundry X’s liquid waste as much as 18 liters from the
process of washing clothes collected by purposive sampling technique. The result of the research indicated
that there was a decrease in the average level of phosphates after the addition of activated carbon of 1 gr, 3
gr, 6 gr by 8
.16 mg/l while PAC of 1 gr, 3 gr, 6 gr by 4.66 mg/l. Thus, there is different effectiveness of
activated carbon and PAC in reducing phosphate levels. The addition of PAC with a dose of 6 grams is
more effective in reducing phosphate levels in laundry liquid waste.
1 INTRODUCTION
The increasing number of populations is directly
proportional to the growing needs for goods and
services. One of the fastest-growing industries
nowadays is the laundry service (Wasserbaur et al.,
2020). However, it could have both positive and
negative impacts. The positive implications for
service users are the affordable costs, time and
energy saving, and less burden of household
activities. By contrast, its negative impact is the
occurrence of pollution and environmental damage
due to the direct discharge of laundry liquid waste to
water bodies (Gordon et al., 2009). Laundry liquid
waste contains chemicals with high concentrations,
one of which is phosphate (Ahmad and EL-
Dessouky, 2008).
Phosphate is one of the nutrients which aquatic
plants need to grow and develop their lives (Xiong et
al., 2017). The presence of excessive phosphate in
water bodies causes a eutrophication phenomenon
(Miyazato et al., 2020). Therefore, in the laundry
industry, liquid waste that has been produced must
not be discharged directly to the environment. It
must be treated in advance so that it has a quality
that is in accordance with the established regulations
(Khosravanipour et al., 2019). For this reason, there
are several conventional techniques for treating
industrial laundry liquid waste, one of which is
chemical treatment using activated carbon and Poly
Aluminum Chloride (PAC) (Manouchehri and
Kargari, 2017).
A study showed that administering a dose of
activated carbon of 1 g L
-1
can reduce the maximum
phosphate content of 102 mg g
-1
(Mojoudi et al.,
2019). Likewise, the administration of an activated
carbon dose of 3 grams can reduce the highest levels
of phosphate, which is around 1.89 mg/l (Majid et
al., 2017). On the other hand, a study portrayed that
after being treated with the addition of PAC with
each dose of 0.3 gr; 0.4 gr; 0.5 gr; 0.6 gr; and 0.7 gr,
the phosphate levels decreased by 1.83 mg/l
(43.69%), 1.48 mg/l (54.46%), 1.43 mg/l (56%),
1.34 mg/l (58.77%) and 1.08 mg/l (66.77%). The
results of these studies indicate that the
administration of PAC has been effective in
reducing phosphate levels to reach the quality
standards of the Central Java regional regulation that
is equal to 2 mg/l (Andriani, Darundiati and
Dangiran, 2017). Also, the study by Chhetri et al.

(2017) showed that giving a dose of PAC 7.5 mg
Al/L can reduce phosphate levels up to 28%. In
accordance with that, PAC also can reduce
phosphate levels up to 72% (Chu et al., 2018).
The research methods used in the previous
researches were descriptive research utilizing
laboratory experiments starting from the preparation
stage, such as the preparation of activated carbon
solutions, namely making ready-to-use solutions for
the examination of phosphate parameters by
repeating the treatment two times (Majid et al.,
2017). On the other hand, research conducted by
Andriani, Darundiati and Dangiran (2017) used a
true experimental research method with the posttest
control group design. This study used only one
treatment medium and did not make any
comparisons.
This study conducted a quasi-experimental
method with pre-test and post-test design. The
reduplication of the treatment was three times,
which was more than the study of Majid et al.
(2017). Thus, the result was far more accurate than
the two times repetition of the treatment. Even, a
research conducted by Andriani, Darundiati and
Dangiran (2017) only used activated carbon alone.
We can infer that the more treatment comparison
media used, the better it will be to know which one
is far more effective. Based on the above context,
research using activated carbon and PAC is required
to highlight the comparison of the efficacy of the
adsorbent and coagulant ingredients in reducing
phosphate levels in laundry liquid waste.
2 METHOD
The location of the study was at the Laboratory of
the Center for Environmental Health Technology
and Disease Control Class I Medan. The population
in the study was laundry X’s liquid waste from
clothes washing activities. In this study, the total
number of samples required was 18 liters. Each
treatment required one liter with three repetitions.
The samples in the study were collected by
purposive sampling technique based on the
considerations made by the researchers themselves.
The inclusion criteria were the laundry liquid waste
should be from the first washing process that comes
out of the disposal outlet and has not yet been
treated.
The materials used were laundry liquid waste,
activated carbon, PAC, and aquades. The instrument
used to measure phosphate levels at the pre and
posttest was spectrophotometry. There were several
stages, namely: the preparation stage where the
laundry liquid waste samples were carried out using
dilution because it was too concentrated; Then,
prepare the entire test sample, then pipette 2.5 ml
into an Erlenmeyer, then add aquades then cover it
and after make it homogeneous. For the pretest
sample, the stages were: a sample that had been
diluted before was pipetted as much as 10 mL,
added ten drops of PO4
-1
reagent into a test tube,
made in the vortex until being homogeneous, added
PO4
-2
reagent of 2 micro spoons (vertically done
when adding reagents), made in the vortex until
being homogeneous and wait for time reaction for
up to five minutes, then turn on the
spectrophotometry NOVA A-60 spectrophotometer,
select an auto selector for phosphate, insert the
prepared sample into a rectangular 50 mm cell and
record the results indicated on display.
For activated carbon and PAC posttest sample: a
sample that had been diluted was put into tubes and
given the addition of activated carbon and PAC as
much as 1 gram, 3 grams, 6 grams in each tube, then
put into a centrifuge to be stirred with speed 400
rpm for 15 minutes. For the activated carbon sample,
the solution was filtered with filter paper. In
contrast, for the PAC sample, the solution was
precipitated for 30 minutes for the coagulation and
flocculation processes, then separate the filtrate from
the sludge when finished and do the same steps as in
the pretest. The research flow can be seen in Figure
1 below.

Univariate analysis was used to describe each
variable from the research results in a table, namely
the independent variable and the dependent variable.
Firstly, the bivariate approach used in this research
was the Shapiro-Wilk test for the test of normality,
as the number of samples was less than 50.
Secondly, a T-test was conducted to determinate the
differences in the efficacy of the pre-test and post-
test using activated carbon and PAC (Hulu and
Sinaga, 2019).
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Table 1 depicts the laboratory examination results of
phosphate levels with the addition of activated
carbon. From table 1, each of the highest phosphate
levels in activated carbon 1 gr, 3 gr, and 6 gr occurs
in the third repetition of 7.3 mg/L (38.8 %); 11.9
(65.0%) and 13.8 mg/L (75.0%). Based on the
average active carbon research of 1 gr, 3 gr, 6 gr, it
was obtained that the average decrease in phosphate
levels as much as 12.1 mg/L (34.7 %); 7.3 mg/L
(60.2%) and 5.1 mg/L (72.5%). However, that result
has not been in accordance with the value of the
threshold of phosphate allowed by PerMenLH No.

Table 2 indicates the laboratory examination of
phosphate levels with the addition of PAC. From
table 2, it is known that each of the highest decline
of phosphate levels in PAC of 1 gr, 3 gr, and 6 gr
occurs in the third repetition as 10.5 mg/l (58.0%);
17.1 mg/l (91.4%) and 17.8 (96.2%). The average
research results of PAC of 1 gr, 3 gr, 6 gr showed a
decrease in the average phosphate levels as much as
8.9 mg/L (51.8%), 3.4 mg/l (81.4%), and 1.7 mg/L
(90.7%). Based on the results, it shows that PAC
with dose 6 gr is already in accordance with the
value of the threshold of phosphate allowed by
PerMenLH No. 05 of 2014 about the standard
quality of liquid waste of the soap Industry and
detergent, namely 2 mg/L.
Table 3 shows the results of the Shapiro-Wilk
normality test for phosphate levels of laundry liquid
waste with various treatments. The p-value > 0.05 is
found in the procedures, so it can be confirmed that
the data distribution was normally distributed.
Because the data was normally distributed, it could
be continued with the Sample Paired T-Test.
Table 4 illustrates the results of the Sample
Paired T-Test. It shows the pre-test and post-test on
each activated carbon and PAC with treatment of 1
gr, 3 gr, 6 gr obtained a significance value (p-value)
of 0.0001 (<0.05). So, Ha was accepted with the
meaning that there was a difference in the average
effectiveness between activated carbon and PAC to
minimize phosphate levels in laundry liquid waste.
The average results of pretests and posttests of
activated carbon amounted to 18,48 mg/L and 8,17
mg/l with a difference of 10.31. Meanwhile, the
average result of pretests and posttests of the PAC
amounted to 18.46 mg/l and 4.67 mg/l with a
difference of 13.79. This suggests that PAC is more
effective at lowering phosphate levels with a much
higher difference than activated carbon.
This study shows that using activated carbon of 1
gr, 3 gr, and 6 gr did not indicate a phosphate
decline under the quality standards established by
PerMenLH No. 05 of 2014. Thus, the results are not
in line with the research conducted by Majid et al.
(2017) that described the initial level of laundry
liquid waste phosphate before being treated was 4.98
mg / l , then after being treated with activated carbon
as much as 1 gr, 2 gr, 3 g, the phosphate levels
decreased to 3.35 mg / l; 2.59 mg / l; 1.89 mg / l
respectively. From the result of the study, it can be
concluded that the administration of 3 grams of
activated carbon dosage was able to reduce the
highest levels of phosphate, which was around 1.89
mg / l. This research is also not in line with the study
of Utomo et al. (2018) regarding the reduction of
anonic surfactant and phosphate levels in laundry
wastewater. It described that the initial phosphate
content before adsorption was 14.148 ppm, then
after being treated with activated carbon with
particle variations, namely -60, -120 and -200 mesh,
it decreased. The result of lower phosphate level
with activated carbon showed that the phosphate
content after the treatment process was significantly
reduced below the detection limit. This is because,
based on the researchers' assumptions, this research
was not carried out by discharging wastewater into a
column whose surface contained activated carbon
adsorbents. In contrast, according to Perrich in
Maretha, Oktiawan and Rezagama (2014), the
process of activated carbon adsorbing phosphate
should be done by flowing liquid waste into the
column, resulting in contact and pressure between
HIMBEP 2020 - International Conference on Health Informatics, Medical, Biological Engineering, and Pharmaceutical
178
the adsorbent with liquid waste. Not only that, but
the size of activated carbon particles also affects the
adsorbent process. This study did not carry out
particle measurements, so the expected adsorption
process was also insignificant. While activated
carbon has a certain adsorption capacity. Thus, the
ability of activated carbon to adsorb phosphate is
limited to a value. Calculation of activated carbon
adsorption capacity of various particle sizes shows
that the smaller the particle size of activated carbon,
the higher the adsorption capacity. This can be
caused by the smaller particle size, which has a
larger surface area so that more activated carbon
sites or surfaces can be used as phosphates adsorbed.
The process of absorption by an adsorbent is
influenced by many factors and also has a specific
isothermal pattern of adsorption. Factors that
influence the adsorption process include the type of
adsorbent, the type of substance absorbed, the
surface area of the adsorbent, the concentration of
the adsorbed substance (Utomo et al., 2018). PH is
also considered to be an essential role during the
adsorption process, which affects adsorbate species
and surface charge density in adsorbents (Qu et al.,
2019).
Because of these factors, each adsorbent that
absorbs one substance with another substance will
not have the same pattern of adsorption isotherms.
This shows that the adsorption process that occurs
between activated carbon and phosphate is more
physical, where the bonds formed are physical bonds
with there being more than one surface layer
(multilayer). Besides, despite being able to create a
multilayer layer on the surface of activated carbon,
the anionic surfactant adsorption capacity also
remains influenced by the surface area of activated
carbon (Kurniyati, Sumarni and Latifah, 2015).
Meanwhile, after the addition of 1 gr, 3 gr, and 6 gr
PAC, there was a significant decrease in the 6 gr
PAC dose that was 1.7 mg / l (90.7%). This shows
that PAC is more effective in reducing phosphate
levels until it meets the established quality standard
of 2 mg / l.
This study is in line with the results of the
research by Andriani, Darundiati and Dangiran
(2017) that showed that the phosphate content in the
effluent liquid waste samples before treatment was
2.92 mg / l; 3.46 mg / l; 3.10 mg / l; 3.17 mg / l; and
3.59 mg / l. However, after being given the addition
of PAC treatment with each dose of 0.3 gr; 0.4 gr;
0.5 gr; 0.6 gr; and 0.7 gr the phosphate level
decreased, namely 1.83 mg / l (43.69%), 1.48 mg / l
(54.46%), 1.43 mg / l (56%), 1.34 mg / l (58.77%)
and 1.08 mg / l (66.77%). From the results of this
study, it can be concluded that the administration of
PAC has been effective in reducing phosphate levels
so that it is below the quality standard of the Central
Java Regional Regulation, which is 2 mg / l.
The low level of phosphate produced after the
addition of PAC shows that PAC can reduce the
level of phosphate, which is under the acceptable
threshold of the environmental quality standards.
The addition of PAC coagulants to the waste causes
colloids and other suspended particles to combine to
form heavy particles (floc). The coagulation process
can remove contaminants such as solid impurities
that cannot be removed by ordinary filtration.
Adding PAC coagulant to the waste will neutralize
negatively charged particles. That is because PAC
has a high positive charge and can bind colloids
strongly to form aggregates (Rohaeti, Febriyanti and
Batubara, 2010).
The addition of PAC coagulants causes elements
in liquid waste to experience instability. When the
PAC coagulant is added to the wastewater, PAC will
dissociate and the metal ions will undergo hydrolysis
and produce hydroxy complex ions, which are
positively charged so that they are adsorbed on the
negative colloidal surface. PAC has positive charge
characteristics and can bind aggregates tightly so
that it can attract and combine suspended particles in
the liquid waste (Rohaeti, Febriyanti and Batubara,
2010).
4 CONCLUSIONS
The average phosphate content before the study was
18.4 mg / l and still exceeds the quality standard set
in PerMenLH No. 05 of 2014. The addition of a 6 gr
PAC dose is more effective in reducing phosphate
levels in laundry liquid waste with an average
decrease amounted to 1.7 mg / l (90.7%). It was
below the quality standard of PerMenLH No.05 of
2014 concerning Wastewater Quality Standards for
Business Activities of Soap, Detergent, and
Vegetable Oil Products Industry that is equal to 2
mg / l. So it is recommended for the laundry service
industry to treat the liquid waste first before being
discharged into water bodies using a 6 gr PAC dose.
It is recommended for subsequent researchers to use
other coagulants such as alum to compare with the
PAC so that they can measure which one is more
effective in reducing phosphate liquid waste levels
in the laundry area, whether using an effective dose
of 6 grams or more.
However, this study has limitations, which are:
the study only examined one laundry center and only
The Effectiveness of Activated Carbon and PAC in Reducing Phosphate Levels in Laundry Liquid Waste
179
checked phosphate levels with two comparison
media. Therefore, future studies can involve more
industrial laundry premises and use more than two
coagulants or adsorbents that can be compared with
a larger number of samples.
