The earthworm is an omnivorous animal low saprophytic, has a strong ability to decompose organic waste. The earthworm can directly grows on dung, consume a large amount of organic waste, numerous research reports, earthworm on heavy metal elements have very strong enrichment. Therefore, the use of earthworms as a bioreactor for animal feces, excessive heavy metals to biological concentration, reduce the content of heavy metals in animal feces, is a task that is worth to discuss. Taking the rural animal feces in the largest number, the most widely distributed of cow dung as study objects, to carry out the earthworm absorption in cow dung, Zn Pb Cu, the study of the optimum conditions for the further study of Earthworm on cattle manure, heavy metal enrichment techniques provide a basis.

Research on the application of chitosan derived from oyster (Anadara inflata) shell as adsorbent for heavy metal Cu (II) has been conducted. Optimum conditions for adsorption, including pH, reaction time, and mass of adsorbent were investigated. Adsorption capability of Cu (II) by chitosan under those optimum conditions was subsequently evaluated by determining their adsorption isotherms and interaction mechanism. The results showed that the optimum condition for adsorption were pH 8, contact time 60 min, and mass of adsorbent 300 mg. Under those optimum conditions, chitosan has a high percentage removal of Cu (II) from aqueous solution, up to 70%. The adsorption process was well described as Langmuir isotherm and it is assumed that the interaction between Cu (II) and chitosan was based on chemical mechanism.

Heavy metals will cause environmental problems. One of the efforts that can minimize level of heavy metal from their solutions is to reduce heavy metals content, so that safely discarded at sea/river. One such way to reduce level of heavy metals is by adsorption. Some agricultural waste are potential as an adsorbent, namely a corncob. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the optimum weight of adsorben from corncob to absorb Pb(II) from its solution. In this study, the corncob was used as an adsorbent to adsorb Pb(II) by using three methods, namely powder, charcoal and activated charcoal with a solution of HCl. The parameters tested were amount of adsorbent or weight of the powder, charcoal and activated charcoal by the weight variation of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 120 mg to determine the optimum conditions in adsorbing Pb(II). The optimum conditions are obtained for the powder was 80 mg with the absorption of 96.92%, the charcoal is 80 mg with absorption of 97.29%, and the activated charcoal was 40 mg with the absorption of 94.70%.

Abstract In this research, biomass modification of Nannochloropsis sp. with surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) through a cation exchange reaction to produce adsorbent Nannochloropsis sp.-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (AlgN-CTAB). Biomass modification of Nannochloropsis sp. by CTAB has been successfully carried out through confirmation from the analysis data produced by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope & energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. AlgN-CTAB adsorbent has been tested for its adsorption ability against anionic dye of methyl orange (MO) in solution by way of a sequence of experiments by the batch method. The optimum conditions for MO removal from the solution occurred at an adsorbent quantity of 0.1 g, pH of 5, and an interaction time of 60 min. MO adsorption kinetics data by AlgN and AlgN-CTAB tended to take the kinetics model of pseudo-second-order (PSO) with PSO rate constant (k2) values of 0.56 and 2.17 g mg-1min-1, serially. The MO adsorption isotherm pattern by AlgN tends to take the Freundlich adsorption isotherm whereas in AlgN-CTAB, it follows the Langmuir and Dubinin-Raduskevich adsorption isotherms (AIML and AIMDR). The results of the adsorption-desorption of MO by AlgN-CTAB with 4 repetition cycles resulted % removal of MO > 80%. The AlgN-CTAB adsorbent can be used repeatedly and is very effective in absorbing MO in solution.

Simultaneous usage of cationic and anionic thermosensitive hydrogels was shown to positively contribute to adsorption of heavy metal ions. The potential capacity for recovering heavy metal ions from an aqueous solution was enhanced by incorporating relatively hydrophobic moiety to the hydrogels, which was ascribed to the increase in the desorption on elevating the temperature over the lower critical swelling temperature (LCST). N-tert-butylacrilamide was added into the hydrogels to increase its desorption potential. The addition of N-tert-butylacrylamide does not significantly affect hydrogels’ adsorption ability. Moreover, the adsorption-desorption cycle was not diminished by repeating the temperature swing above the critical temperature at which the volume phase transition was induced.
