Humans need water with good quality to fulfill their needs. Water with high hardness content will have a bad impact if consumed continuously, so the adsorption method is carried out to reduce the concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. The adsorption process uses sugarcane bagasse activated carbon (SBAC) and the tested water sample is well water in District Jati, Kudus. Synthesis of  SBAC was conducted with H3PO4 30% as an activator at an impregnation ratio of 1:5 (w/w) at temperature 700°C. The FTIR result showed that SBAC contains O-H, C-H, C=C, C≡C, and C-O as functional groups. Analysis result with the XRD instrument showed that the microstructure of SBAC that is formed is turbostatic structure and amorphous. Modeling isotherm suitable for SBAC adsorption on Ca2+ ions is Langmuir isotherm where the R2 value is 0.9134 which shows that the adsorption process occurs chemically and monolayer. Modeling isotherm suitable for SBAC adsorption on Mg2+ ions is Elovich isotherm where the R2 value is 0.8638 which means that the adsorption process is multilayer and adsorption in non-ideal conditions. Modeling kinetics suitable for SBAC adsorption on  Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions is Pseudo Orde 2 where the R2 value is 0.9395 and 0.7274. Percent efficiency value of sugarcane activated carbon adsorption of Ca2+ dan Mg2+ ions on District Jati, Kudus well water is 14.44% and 8.94% and 40 minutes stirring time.

This study was carried out to increase the treatment efficiency through the improvement of the conventional biological process, and to propose the optimal treatment direction. The optimal treatment conditions were derived based on the results of the spike damage tests in each single process. The removal efficiency of micropharmaceuticals was further increased when an ozone treatment process was added to the biological process compared to the single process. The soil and activated carbon adsorption process was introduced in the post-treatment to remove the micropharmaceutical residues, and the removal efficiency of the pharmaceduticals in the final effluent was more than 85% in spike damage experiment. In particular, the continuous process of biological treatment-ozone-adsorption could ensure the stable treatment of micropharmaceuticals, which had not been efficiently removed in the single process, as it showed more than 80% removal efficiency. Therefore, it is expected that the addition of the ozone oxidation and activated carbon adsorption process to the existing sewage treatment facilities can contribute to the efficient removal of micropharmaceuticals.
