Pembuatan Ca-Mg-Al Hydrotalcite-like compound dari Brine Water untuk menjerap Cr(VI)
<p>Pembuatan Ca-Mg-Al <em>hydrotalcite-like</em> <em>compound</em> (HTlc) dengan metode kopresipitasi telah dilakukan. <em>Hydrotalcite-like</em> yang terbentuk dikarakterisasi dengan <em>X-ray Diffraction</em> (XRD), <em>Fourier Transform Infra Red</em> (FTIR), <em>Surface Area Analyzer</em> (SAA) dan digunakan sebagai adsorben Cr(VI). Hasil karakterisasi XRD menunjukkan adanya nilai <em>d</em> 7,54 Å pada sudut 2 <em>theta</em> 11,73º yang merupakan ciri <em>hydrotalcite</em> dengan <em>interlayer</em> karbonat. Hasil ini diperkuat dengan adanya gugus hidroksi pada daerah bilangan gelombang IR sekitar 3441 cm<sup>-1</sup> serta gugus karbonat pada 1361 cm<sup>-1</sup>. Proses adsorpsi Cr(VI) dengan menggunakan Ca-Mg-Al <em>hydrotalcite-like</em> menunjukkan kondisi optimum pada pH 3 dan waktu kontak 20 menit. Kinetika adsoprsi Cr(VI) oleh Ca-Mg-Al <em>hydrotalcite-like</em> cenderung mengikuti persamaan kinetika <em>pseudo second order </em>dan isoterm adsorpsinya mengikuti model isoterm Langmuir. Kapasitas adsorpsi maksimum Cr(VI) menggunakan Ca-Mg-Al <em>hydrotalcite-like</em> lebih besar dibandingkan menggunakan <em>hydrotalcite</em> komersial. Pita spektra FTIR setelah adsorpsi Cr(VI) menunjukkan ion kromium terserap ke dalam Ca-Mg-Al <em>hydrotalcite-like</em><em> compound</em>.</p><p><strong>Synthesis of Ca-Mg-Al Hydrotalcite-like </strong><strong><em>compound</em> from Brine Water for Cr(VI) removal.</strong> The synthesis of Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like compound (Htlc) with a coprecipitation method had been done. Hydrotalcite-like product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra red (FTIR), surface area analyzer (SAA) and was used as an adsorbent of Cr(VI). The XRD characterization result indicates a value of <em>d</em> 7.54 Å at 2 theta 11.73º, which is a characteristic of hydrotalcite with carbonate interlayer. These results are confirmed by the presence of a hydroxy group at wavenumber of IR around 3441 cm<sup>-1</sup> and carbonate groups in the 1361 cm<sup>-1</sup>. The adsorption of Cr(VI) using the Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like showed the optimum conditions at pH 3 and 20 minutes contact time. The adsorption kinetic of Cr(VI) by Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like tends to follow the pseudo second order equation and the adsorption isotherm tends to follow the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) using the Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like is greater than that of using commercial hydrotalcite. Morever, the FTIR spectra analyzed after Cr(VI) adsorption indicates that chromium ion was adsorbed into of Ca-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like compound.</p>
