REMOVAL PB2+ OF WELL WATER USING PUROLITE C-100 RESIN AND ADSORPTION KINETICESTHI KUSDARINI, DIAN YANUARITA PURWANINGSIH AND AGUS BUDIANTOAbstract Lead is one of important pollutants. Well water is polluted in urban society in Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia. This water is heavily polluted. The aim of this study was studying removal lead from well water using purolite C-100 resin. This research focused on adsorption kinetics of PB2+ ion by purolite C-100. The kinetic method was developed using Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm equation. Variable used was resin mass and flow rate air. The result of this research showed that % Removal Lead (II) purolite C-100 resin was able to reduce Pb2+ ion content at operation condition of resin mass 10-50 g and flow rate air of 0.02-0.04L.s-1 was very good, namely 95.78 â 99.57%. The result of Freundlich equation produced constants of n = 0.5456 and Kf = 922.1467 while Langmuir equation produced constants As = 0.0067 and Kb = 298.8661. |
