Abstract:As the interest in developing and applying low-cost adsorbents is growing, the purpose of this paper is to introduce East Kalimantan’s low-rank coal as an adsorbent that is abundant in nature but underutilized. This adsorbent was used in a batch adsorption process to remove Methylene Blue (MB) from simulated textile wastewater. The study was conducted at a range of pH values (from 3 to 13) using a variety of low-rank coal adsorbents (60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160 mg). Approximately 100 mg/L of MB was added to… Show more
