Investigations were carried out for separation/pre concentration of uranium from aqueous solutions of different TDS using Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC). Parameters like amount of PAC, contact time, pH, volume of solutions and reagents for desorption were optimized. The sorption of uranium is more than 95% at pH 4-5 using 0.5 gram PAC with a contact time of 10 minutes.  The sorbed uranium on PAC is recovered using 0.8N HNO<sub>3</sub> and determined by LED Fluorimetry.  Method was successfully applied to ground water, sea water and brine water.  Methodology is simple, selective, cost effective with minimal skills. RSD of the method varies ± 6-14 %.

Tourism Potential

East Simulue Subdistrict is one of the areas that has coastal tourism potential that is very good to develop. Tourism development cannot be separated from the provide of tourism facilities and infrastructure, one of which is public infrastructure in the form of providing clean water. Determination of hydrogeochemical characteristics and determination of groundwater quality index (Water Quality Index) is one method of assessing groundwater worthiness in East Simulue. Ground water in the Simulue East coastal area is dominated by HCO3 elements, with a value of Cl / HCO3 ratio <0.5 which indicates that ground water is not affected by sea water, while the Na / Cl ratio> 1 indicates that groundwater has a process of groundwater hydrolysis. There are 6 types of facies hydrochemical facies of East Simulue groundwater, Mg-HCO3, Ca-HCO3, mixing Ca-Na-HCO3, Na-HCO3, Na-SO4 and Ca-SO4, but overall dominated by Mg-HCO3 facies. The ratio of Na ++ K +/ (Na ++ K ++ Ca2 +) as a function of TDS also shows that the chemistry of East Simeulue groundwater is dominated by the interaction of rock (formation) with groundwater. Groundwater quality index classification in Simuelue coastal shows that overall groundwater is in the category of excellent water (good) and good water (good) category.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of activated carbons prepared from Macadamia nutshells as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solutions. The activated carbon was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CHNS analyzer and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). For effective removal of Cr(VI), the optimum parameters found were pH 2, 120 min of contact time and 0.2 g of sorbent. The adsorption data fitted well into the Freundlich model, suggesting a multilayer sorption process. The results demonstrated that Macadamia activated carbon could be used as cost-effective biosorbent for the treatment of aqueous solutions contaminated by Cr(VI) with an adsorption capacity of 22.3 mg g−1. The mode of removal involved adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).

Magnetic Fe3o4

This study aimed to develop magnetic Fe3O4/sugarcane bagasse activated carbon composite for the adsorption of arsenic (III) from aqueous solutions. Activated carbon (AC) was prepared from sugarcane bagasse by chemical activation using H3PO4 as an activating agent at 400 °C. To enhance adsorption capacity for arsenic, the resultant AC was composited with Fe3O4 particles by facile one-pot hydrothermal treatment. This method involves mixing the AC with aqueous solution of iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and ethanol. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted for the adsorption of As (III) onto the composite. The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on the arsenic adsorption were studied. The result showed that the composite could remove the arsenic from the water far more effectively than the plain AC. The highest percentage of arsenic removal was found at pH at 8, adsorbent dose of 1.8 g/L, and contact time of 60 min. Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm was used to analyze the equilibrium experimental data. Langmuir model showed the best fit compared to the Freundlich model with a maximal capacity of 6.69 mg/g. These findings indicated that magnetic Fe3O4/sugarcane bagasse AC composite could be potentially applied for adsorptive removal of arsenic (III) from aqueous solutions.
