| Summary: | Textile wastewater will be the major problems regarding the chemical pollution due to the color effluent that the textile industrial produced. The synthetic dye that will be found in another manufacturing which was can damage not only towards the environment but also a human health. The purpose of this research was to identify the solution for treating the wastewater. One of the pre-treatment to treat the wastewater was by physical method. The method that will be used was adsorption process by using synthetic dyes (Cresol Red and Reactive Black 5) and synthetic water (distilled water). This research will be conducted to determine which agricultural wastes (Spent Tea Leaves and Bagasse Powder) react with the synthetic dyes. Experiments were carried out with agricultural waste sample and the synthetic dyes at 1000ppm concentration. 50ml of both dyes will then mix with the 5 g of agricultural waste for 24 hours to show how the agricultural waste was effective adsorption to the removal of synthetic dyes. The adsorption of Cresol Red and Reactive Black 5 were measured and the most effective adsorption was spent tea leaves on Cresol Red dyes which was the percentage rate removal of adsorption was 68.55 %. The results indicate the higher removal rate shows the more adsorption capacity of the adsorbent. |
