The technology development in many industries nowadays, such as electronic industry produces heavy metal wastes which may pollute our environment. The use of adsorbent as a heavy metal removal from soil and water is one of the efficient process which can be considered to be used. In addition the release of the adsorbate becomes an important way as well because usually those heavy metals still have a high value. The objective of this research is to develop adsorbent based on cassava starch. So, the release process will become easier and will not produce another waste. The adsorbent was produced through the grafting of acrylic acid onto cassava starch by using Fenton initiator. To construct a stable 3-D network, the crosslinker (CL) N,N’- methylenebisacrylamide was added. The variable observed were the amount of CL added (0.5%; 1.5%; 2.5% and 3.5%) and the treatment of generating more pores on starch copolymer. The treatments on starch copolymer observed were single freezing, second freezing, and citric acid modification and carbonization methods. Analysis performed on the adsorbent was % add-on, water absorption and metal adsorption (especially Cu2+ ion) capacity. The result showed that the used of 2.5% CL produced the highest add-on (47.66 %), the highest water absorption capacity and the highest metal adsorption capacity (0.29g Cu2+/g adsorbent) The citric acid modification also produced the highest pores on the adsorbent.

Polymer enhanced ultrafiltration was used to remove Cr(III) from aqueous solution by using complexing agent, copolymer of maleic acid and acrylic acid (PMA-100), and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) ultrafiltration membrane. Effects of mass ratio of polymer/metal (P/M), pH, added salt and citric acid on the rejection of Cr(III) were investigated. Results show that the rejection of Cr(III) can be 97.2% for 10.0 mg/L aqueous solution at P/M 6.0 and pH 5.0, and the a complete removal occurs when pH is not smaller than 6.0, but the membrane will be fouled due to the formation of hydroxide precipitation at pH 6.0. The addition of the citric acid leads to a significant decrease of rejection while the added salt (up to 0.1M) has little effect on the rejection of Cr(III).
