ABSTRAKLimbah cair merupakan salah satu hasil dari proses produksi yang mengandung beberapa campuran atau senyawa kimia yang berbahaya. Salah satunya adalah limbah cair dari proses pengolahan monasit yang mengandung unsur radioaktif, yaitu uranium (U). Limbah cair yang mengandung unsur radioaktif, terutama uranium, menjadi bahan berbahaya apabila terlepas ke lingkungan karena kanndunga nuklida aktif nya yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan lingkungan dan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pengolahan limbah cair dari pengolahan monasit. Metode yang digunakan adalah proses pertukaran ion dengan resin kation yaitu Tulsion T-40 Na yang dapat menurunkan kandungan uranium dan kandungan kation lainnya pada limbah cair pada konsetrasi rendah. Pertukaran ion dilakukan melalui proses pengadukan dengan variasi bobot resin dan waktu kontak. Pengukuran kandungan uranium dilakukan dengan Spektrofotometer UV-Vis, sedangkan pengukuran pH dan nilai TDS pada limbah cair dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik limbah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kondisi optimum proses pertukaran ion pada bobot resin 1,5 g dengan waktu kontak selama 300 menit menghasilkan penurunan kadar uranium sebesar 83,40 %.ABSTRACTWaste-water is one of the production process that contains several dangerous mixtures or chemical compositions. One of them is waste-water from monazite processing which is containing radioactive element like uranium (U). Waste-water with radioactive content, mainly uranium, became a hazardeous content if it is released to the environment because of its active nuclide content that effect the environment and community health. Therefore, it is necessary to treat waste-water from monasite processing. The method used is ion exchange process with a cation resin, namely Tulsion T-40 Na, which can reduce uranium content and other cations in waste-water at low concentration. Ion exchanging is conducted through stirring process with resin weight and contact time variations. Measurements on uranium content are carried out using the UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, while measurements on pH and TDS values in waste-water are conducted to determine the characteristics of the waste. The results showed that optimum condition of the ion exchange process at 1.5 g resin weight with 300 minutes contact time is resulting a reduction on uranium content as much as 83.40 %.

Duolite™ GT-73 ion exchange resin routinely reduces the mercury content of a waste water stream to less than the permitted level of 10 ppb. Effluent concentrations from the ion exchange facility (IEF) are consistently between 1 to 5 ppb, even though the feed contains a varying concentration of mercury (0.2 to 70 ppm). Two operational problems have been encountered at that facility, however. Firstly, the stated capacity of the resin for mercury was not being achieved. The abnormally low capacity was traced to analytical laboratory waste which was intermittently treated by the resin. That waste contained hydrochloric acid, stannous chloride, and potassium permanganate, among other chemicals, which presumably eluted sorbed mercury from the resin and also oxidized the thiol (SH) functional groups on the resin and rendered them inactive. The net effect was that the resin had to be replaced more frequently than anticipated. Secondly, the IEF was temporarily shut down because the mercury content of the waste water could not be reduced to below the permitted level, even with fresh resin. That problem was caused by slow settling solids composed mainly of iron which apparently adsorbed some of the mercury and allowed it to pass through the resin untreated. The solids were presumably a result of processing waste water abnormally high in iron which may have co-precipitated with mercury and other elements in the feed and caused a residual buildup of solids throughout the IEF. The problem was remedied by installing a 0.2 µm cartridge filter between the feed tank and the columns.

Background: Color effluents generated from the production industry of dyes and pigments and their use in different applications such as textile, paper, leather tanning, and food industries, are high in color and contaminants that damage the aquatic life. It is estimated that about 105 of various commercial dyes and pigments amounted to 7×105 tons are produced annually worldwide. Ultimately, about 10–15% is wasted into the effluents of the textile industry. Chitin is abundant in nature, and it is a linear biopolymer containing acetamido and hydroxyl groups amenable to render it atmospheric by introducing amino and carboxyl groups, hence able to remove different classes of toxic organic dyes from colored effluents. Methods: Chitin was chemically modified to render it amphoteric via the introduction of carboxyl and amino groups. The amphoteric chitin has been fully characterized by FTIR, TGA-DTG, elemental analysis, SEM, and point of zero charge. Adsorption optimization for both anionic and cationic dyes was made by batch adsorption method, and the conditions obtained were used for studying the kinetics and thermodynamics of adsorption. Results: The results of dye removal proved that the adsorbent was proven effective in removing both anionic and cationic dyes (Acid Red 1 and methylene blue (MB)), at their respective optimum pHs (2 for acid and 8 for cationic dye). The equilibrium isotherm at room temperature fitted the Freundlich model for MB, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 98.2 mg/g using 50 mg/l of MB, whereas the equilibrium isotherm fitted the Freundlich and Langmuir model for AR1 and the maximum adsorption capacity was 128.2 mg/g. Kinetic results indicate that the adsorption is a two-step diffusion process for both dyes as indicated by the values of the initial adsorption factor (Ri) and follows the pseudo-second-order kinetics. Also, thermodynamic calculations suggest that the adsorption of AR1 on the amphoteric chitin is an endothermic process from 294 to 303 K. The result indicated that the mechanism of adsorption is chemisorption via an ion-exchange process. Also, recycling of the adsorbent was easy, and its reuse for dye removal was effective. Conclusion: New amphoteric chitin has been successfully synthesized and characterized. This resin material, which contains amino and carboxyl groups, is novel as such chemical modification of chitin hasn’t been reported. The amphoteric chitin has proven effective in decolorizing aqueous solution from anionic and cationic dyes. The adsorption behavior of amphoteric chitin is believed to follow chemical adsorption with an ion-exchange process. The recycling process for few cycles indicated that the loaded adsorbent could be regenerated by simple treatment and retested for removing anionic and cationic dyes without any loss in the adsorbability. Therefore, the study introduces a new and easy approach for the development of amphoteric adsorbent for application in the removal of different dyes from aqueous solutions.

AbstractIon exchanged ß“-aluminas display a number of interesting optical properties which suggest that the material is well suited for application as a solid state laser host. Small platelets of Nd3+ Ion exchanged β“-alumina exhibit laser action with gain coefficients many times greater than YAG. The versatility of the ion exchange process enables one to form a wide variety of compounds with different active ions and concentrations, thereby allowing the study of many different effects within a single host crystal.

Studies have been carried out on removal of Se(Ⅵ) from raw water by ion exchange process. The experiment results indicate that employment of strong-base anion exchange resin of 201×7 can receive a desirable result for Se removal. It is particularly true that the removal rate of Se(Ⅵ) can achieve more than 96% when the Se(Ⅵ) concentration in raw water is 100μg/L. This allows selenium concentration of the supply water in full conformity to the quality standard currently available for drinking water. Ion exchange process for Se removal has been proved to be competent for its efficiency, cost effectiveness and easy operation.
