Pontianak peel fruit waste contains pectin, cellulose, and hemicellulose which can be used as heavy metal adsorbents by modifying using Ca(OH)2. The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical characteristics of calcium-modified Pontianak Citrus adsorbents (JeP-Oca), determine the maximum capacity of Fe(II) adsorption by JeP-OCa, and JeP-OCa adsorption kinetics. The characteristics of the adsorbent were analyzed using the Fourier Transformation Infra Red (FTIR) showing the functional groups of –OH and -COOH, Electron Scanning (SEM) Microscopy showing the surface structure of the canal and many irregular niches. The adsorption isotherm method with the BET model showed a large difference in porous surface area, namely 104.872 m2/g for JeP, 242.649 m2/g for JeP-ONa and 3759.745 m2/g for JeP-OCa. Optimization of the influence of pH, adsorbent mass, adsorbate concentration, and time using the column method. Adsorption isotherm followed the Freundlich isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity value of 22.7272 mg/g. Fulfill the pseudo-order 2 reaction kinetics with a rate constant value of 4.097 L/mg. Min. The adsorption application using groundwater resulted in absorption efficiency of 82.99%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
