Utilization of Durian Peel as Iron adsorption from water for filter material

Abstract

This research aims to study the iron adsorption capability of durian peels utilizationthat produce to charcoal and activated carbon. The effectiveness of durian peels charcoal and activated carbon were compared with coconut shell. The experiment was study to the iron adsorption capability that tested by using shaker and water filter equipment. The filter materials which contained charcoal, activated carbon, rasin mixed with activated carbon of durian peels and coconut shell. The result showed that the capability adsorption of durian
peels charcoal by shacker at 10-90 minutes was between 31.79 – 38.54% and 63.60 – 77.08% of durian peels activated carbon. The adsorption by using water filter equipment to
treat water 10 liters found that the charcoal of durian peels had efficiency of iron
adsorption between 21.82 – 40.74% and 43.64 – 81.48% of durian peels activated carbon. The both of durian peels activated carbon and rasin was capability iron adsorption
average 97.63%. In conclusion, the durian peels charcoal and activated carbon were ability to absorb iron same as carbon from coconut shell. Thus, this peel can be used as iron adsorption in water purifier
