The aim of the study is to investigate removal of Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb in acid mine drainage (AMD) using modified oxygen releasing compounds (MORCs) of which CaO2 is the main ingredient. When the MORCs are placed into AMDs, OH- will be released gently and continuously which can neutralize H+ and precipitate heavy metal ions as hydroxide/carbonates. Four types of artificial AMDs contained Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb ions with/without sulfate were prepared in the laboratory. The removal rates of the heavy metals were measured after adding MORCs to the artificial AMDs. The results showed that the removal rates of Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb in all 4 artificial AMDs, after 72 hours, are more than 97%, even to 100%. However, after 96 hours, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb deposits can be re-dissolved by 16.4%, 11.2%, 7.0%, 5.0% and 4.8%, respectively, in the single-metal artificial AMDs; Pb and Cd deposits are more stable. Sulfate in the multi-metal artificial AMD hardly has effects on re-dissolution of the heavy metal deposits; and only Ni deposits in the single-metal AMD with sulfate and Cu deposits in the single-metal AMD without sulfate are re-dissolved significantly. It suggested that the MORCs should be an efficient material to remove Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb from AMDs after 72 hours than lime or limestone.

One used method to reduce heavy metal ions in acid mine drainage is to adsorb them by coal fly ash. This research aimed to study the isotherms equilibrium and the adsorpstion kinetics that fit with decreasing metals ion. Acid mine draigane and fly ash were charge into batch coloumn adsorption with specified comparison. Variables investigated were dactivated and activated fly ash, adsorption times (0, 20, 30, 40,50, and 60 minutes), adsorben weights (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 gram), and pH (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9). The results showed that fly ash can be used to reduce the levels of heavy metal ions Fe and Mn. Coal fly ash adsorption model of acid mine drainage fits to Freundlich adsorption isotherm in all condition. First order pseudo model kinetics is suitable for Fe and Mn adsorption processes. The value of adsorpsi rate constants vary around : Fe and Mn (deactivated fly ash) 0.2388 min-1 with R2 = 0.4455 and 0.4173 min-1 with R2 = 0.9781, Fe and Mn (activated fly ash) 0.5043 min-1 dengan R2 = 1 and 0.2027 min-1 with R2 = 0.8803.

Heavy metal ions contamination has become more serious which is caused by the releasing of toxic water from industrial area and landfill that are very harmful to all living organism especially human and can even cause death if contaminated in small amount of heavy metal concentration. Currently, peoples are using classic method namely electrochemical treatment, chemical oxidation/reduction, chemical precipitation and reverse osmosis to eliminate the metal ions from toxic water. Unfortunately, these methods are costly and not environmentally friendly as compared to bioadsorption method, where agricultural waste is used as biosorbent to remove heavy metals. Two types of agricultural waste used in this research namely oil palm mesocarp fiber (Elaesis guineensis sp.) (OPMF) and mangrove bark (Rhizophora apiculate sp.) (MB) biomass. Through chemical treatment, the removal efficiency was found to improve. The removal efficiency is examined based on four specification namely dosage, of biosorbent to adsorb four types of metals ion explicitly nickel, lead, copper, and chromium. The research has found that the removal efficiency of MB was lower than OPMF; whereas, the multiple metals ions removal efficiency decreased in the order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Cr2+.
