ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN TANAH DI DAERAH PEMUKIMAN KOTA BENGKULU DALAM MENJERAP ALKYL BENZENE SULPHONATE (ABS) DAN LINEAR ALKYLBENZENE SULPHONATE (LAS)

This research aims to know the ability of land in a residential area of the city of Bengkulu in adsorbed Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (ABS) and Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS). Soil samples were taken at five-point i.e. the backyard of Balai Buntar, Fatmawati Airport, Beringin Raya , Pematang Gubernur and Simpang Nakau with a drill ground at a depth of 20 cm and cleaned from garbage impurity. Then the soil characterized include moisture content, pH, texture and the organic content and ABS and ALS adsorbsition measured using UV-vis spectrophotometers att 222-223 nm wavelengths. In this research tested the influence of pH, pulp and optimum contact time contacts from soil sample at in ABS and ALS adsorbsition The adsorbtion pattern is known as the Freundlich and Langmuir parameters. Based on research, generally, it can be concluded that the land in the residential area of Bengkulu city has characteristic average water content – average 23%, pH average – average 5.35 and it's Turn dusty clay. The optimum condition from soil in adsorbs from Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (ABS) occurs at pH 3, a mass of 1 g and 2 hours of contact time with the adsorption capacity of 0.874 mg/g, while for Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS) adsorption the optimum soil conditions occur at pH 2, mass 0.5 g and 1-hour contact time with the adsorption capacity of 1.607 mg/g. The pattern of soil adsorption against ABS tends to follow the Langmuir equation whereas against LAS tend to follow the Freundlich equation. Adsorpstion of soil samples in Bengkulu City against ABS belongs to low and adsorpstion against LAS belongs to very low

Removal efficiency of anionic surfactants from water during UVC photolysis and advanced oxidation process in H2O2/UVC system

Surfactants after their use are discharged into aquatic ecosystems. These compounds may be harmful to fauna and flora in surface waters or can be toxic for microorganisms of the activated sludge or biofilm in WWTP. In order to determine effectiveness of different advanced oxidation processes on the degradation of surfactants, in this study the degradation of anionic surfactants in aqueous solution using photolysis by 254 nm irradiation and by advanced oxidation process in a H2O2/UVC system was investigated. Two representatives of anionic surfactants, linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS-R11–14) and ether carboxylic derivate (EC-R12–14E10) were tested. The influence of pH, initial surfactant concentration and dose of hydrogen peroxide on the degradation was also studied. Results show outstanding effectiveness of the H2O2/UVC system in the removal of surfactant from aqueous solutions.

KAJIAN ADSORPSI LINEAR ALKYL BENZENE SULPHONATE (LAS) DENGAN BENTONIT-KITOSAN

Deterjen pada umumnya tersusun atas surfaktan anionik seperti LAS (Linear alkyl Benzene sulphonate). pada percobaan ini LAS dapat menyerap sinar pada daerahuv dengan panjang gelombang maksimumnya adalah 223,5 nm. LAS dalam perairan dapat menimbulkan potensi masalah pencemaran.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai salah satu alternatif penanganan masalah pencemaran limbah domestik dengan cara menguji kinerja bentonit alam dan bentonit termodifikasi kitosan dalam mengadsorpsi LAS. Untuk mengetahui bahwa kitosan telah bereaksi dengan bentonit maka diuji dengan FTIR dan XRD pada bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan. Kemudian ditentukan waktu kontak optimum antara LAS dengan bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan. Serta penentuan isoterm adsorpsi LAS dengan bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan dengan cara membuat variasi konsentrasi larutan LAS. Uji kinerja bentonit alam dan bentonit-kitosan dalam mengadsorpsi LAS dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem batch. Didapat waktu kontak optimum antara LAS berinteraksi dengan bentonit alam adalah 15 menit dengan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 3,265 mg/g. Sedangkan Waktu kontak optimum interaksi LAS dengan bentonit-kitosan terjadi pada waktu 15 menit dengan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 1,7mg/g. Dari hasil yang didapat maka dapat terlihat bahwa bentonit alam memiliki kapasitas adsorpsi yang lebih besar dibandingkan bentonit hasil modifikasi dengan kitosan. Interaksi antara bentonit alam dan bentonit–kitosan dengan LAS terjadi secara fisik dengan energi adsorpsi bentonit alam dengan LAS adalah 19,31 KJ/mol dan energi adsorpsi bentonit-kitosan dengan LAS adalah 19,60 KJ/mol.

Influence of Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate on Corrosion of Iron in Presence of Magnetic Field: Kinetic and Thermodynamic Parameters

Implementation of linear alkyl benzene sulphonate, LAS, as corrosion inhibitor on the surface of iron metal in acidic media and in the absence and presence of magnetic field has been investigated. Adsorption of inhibitor molecules on iron surface showed Langmuir adsorption isotherms fit in acidic media. In the absence of magnetic field, apparent activation energy values (Ea) in 2.0 M HCl solutions provide evidence of the inhibitory effect of LAS on iron; similarly, the enthalpy of activation values (ΔH≠) was in accordance with activation energy values. Apparent entropy of activation shows that at larger inhibitor concentration, solvent entropy decrease in 1.0 M HCl and solvent entropy increase in 2.0 M HCl were obtained. Furthermore, spontaneity, through equilibrium constant (Kads.) values and free energy value (ΔGads.) of the adsorption process, shows a drastic decrease upon temperature increase. In the presence of magnetic field, lower rates of corrosion, larger activation energies, solvent entropy increase, larger equilibrium constant (Kads.) value, and lower free energy value (ΔGads.) have been investigated.
