The design a solar-sorption refrigerator to be used in the warm and humid climate of Mexico, the most critical environmental conditions and most demanding climatic zone for cooling technology, requires that the adsorption capacity of the composite sorbent to be characterize. It must be verified that the composite sorbent such as silica gel, calcium chloride and various natural zeolites, with different substances in a gaseous state as sorbate, (water, methanol and ethanol), has hydrogen bonds that can be united and broken easily, measuring the amount of energy required by the sorption-desorption mechanism.

This research modified natural zeolite with TiO2 synthesized by the sol-gel process which was applied as a humic acid adsorbent. The purpose of this study was to coat natural zeolites with TiO2 to increase the adsorption capacity of natural zeolites as humic acid adsorbents. The natural zeolite powders were obtained from Kabupaten Solok, West Sumatra, based on X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, the ratio of silica/alumina (Si/Al) was 4.35, indicating that natural zeolite was clinoptilolite zeolite. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis showed natural zeolite has a rough surface with closed pores while zeolite coated with TiO2 (zeolite/TiO2) has a homogeneous, smooth surface with open pore. The results of the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis showed that the level of TiO2 was 7.1%, this result showed that TiO2 has been coated on the surface of the zeolite. Natural zeolite and zeolite/TiO2 were applied as humic acid adsorbents. Maximum adsorption capacity of natural zeolites and zeolites/TiO2 were 0.2787 mg/g and 1.199 mg/g, respectively.

AbstractActivated carbon (AC) was modified by using non-thermal plasma in O2, N2 and O2/N2 atmospheres to increase its Cu(II) adsorption capacity and quantify the influences of the modifying atmospheres. SEM, BET, FT-IR and XPS were used to characterize the surface physical and chemical properties of AC. The results show that the AC modified by using plasma had significantly better Cu(II) adsorption performance than the raw AC. Among the O2, N2 and O2/N2 atmospheres, the AC with plasma modification in N2 showed best Cu(II) adsorption performance and the Cu(II) adsorption capacity was 369.5% higher than the raw AC. The AC modified in O2 atmosphere can form C—COOH groups, while the AC modified in N2 atmosphere can form C—NH2 groups. These two groups are both beneficial for Cu(II) adsorption, where the —NH2 groups are more effective for Cu(II) adsorption compared to —COOH groups. The chemisorption dominated the Cu(II) adsorption on the plasma modified AC and the adsorption performance was dependent on the surface functional groups properties of AC.

Indonesia has many zeolite producing areas yet untapped. Researchers developed the utilization of natural zeolites useful for the adsorption of naphthol dyes commonly found in batik waste. In this study researchers used natural zeolites from Purworejo and Ponorogo that are activated using hydrochloric acid that is used for adsorption. The purpose of this research is to know the effect of natural zeolite activation from Ponorogo and Purworejo on the effectiveness of adsorption of naphthol dyes widely used in batik industry. Natural zeolite was activated using HCl concentration of 1.3N; 1.8N; 3.2N; and 3.9N for 60 minutes. The methods are preparation of natural zeolite from Purworejo and Ponorogo, dealumination using hydrochloric acid, adsorption process of naphthol dyes using activated zeolite, and test of adsorption result with uv-vis spectrophotometry. The test results showed that the higher HCl concentration will increase adsorption capacity. This can be known from the concentration of naphthol dye which decreased both using natural zeolite Ponorogo and Purworejo. While the effectiveness of adsorption shows natural zeolite Purworejo has a greater adsorption capacity than Ponorogo with optimum conditions of dealumination using concentration HCl 3,9N.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of natural zeolites characteristics on the adsorption capacity of Pb2+ from an aqueous environment. The used natural zeolites were originated from 3 regions in Indonesia. i.e. Bayah, Banten (coded as ZB) and two samples from South Lampung (coded as ZL-1 and ZL-2) and Nanggung, Bogor (ZN). The characteristics of each natural zeolite were evaluated through a series of detailed analysis including XRD, FTIR, XRF, SEM and N2 physisorption. It was revealed that ZB, ZL-1 and ZL-2 were dominated by clinoptilolite (HEU) frameworks while the major phase of ZN was mordenite (MOR) type. From XRF data, the three natural zeolites (ZB, ZL-1 and ZN) possessed a comparable Si/Al ratio (ca. 5.5 to 6) whereas ZL-2 had slightly lower Si/Al ratio (ca. 4). We found that, at comparable Si/Al ratio, clinoptilolite frameworks has a higher adsorption capacity of Pb2+ compared to that of mordenite due to the compatibility of Pb2+ inside the pores of clinoptilolite. Lower Si/Al ratio of natural zeolite tended to show higher adsorption capacity of Pb2+ since the net charge of zeolite frameworks became more negative. These two factors, the framework type and the Si/Al ratio, are significant for the adsorption capacity. Another factor, i.e. surface area, had no certain effect on the adsorption capacity in this case.

Chromium is one of the hazardous heavy metal contained in the industrial wastewater. It can be reduced by various methods, such as adsorption. The purpose of this study was initialized an activated carbon from coconut fiber by various phosphoric acid (H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>) activator concentration (0,1M; 0,5M; 1M; 1,5M; 2M) and variation of contact time (30; 60; 90; 120; 150; 180 minutes) to obtain optimum adsorption capacity of chromium. Analysis of the activated coconut fiber carbon by SAA obtained a surface area of 53,39 m<sup>2</sup>/g. The potassium chromate (K<sub>2</sub>CrO<sub>4</sub>) solution was adsorbed by the adsorbent and then analyzed by a UV-VIS Spectrophotometer to measure the chromium content. This study proved that chromium adsorption by activated coconut fiber carbon was increased by the time until reaching optimum condition. Enhancement of adsorption capacity was directly proportional as the more concentrated phosphoric acid activator. Maximum adsorption capacity obtained was 3,464 mg/g and the optimum condition was at contact time of 150 minutes with the phosphoric acid activator concentration of 2M.

The removal of radionuclides such as 129I and 131I from radioactive liquid wastes was studied. Two natural zeolites were modified with different quaternary alkylammonium ions to replace the exchangeable cations from the zeolite surface and used as adsorbent materials. The quaternary ions used for such purpose were hexadecyltrimethylammonium, tetradecyltrimethylammonium, dodecyltrimethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium and tetramethylammonium, respectively. Some of the modified forms exhibited an adsorption capacity much higher than those of the respective natural samples. In contrast, the adsorption capacity was negligible when tetrabutylammonium and tetramethylammonium ions were used. Adsorption experiments were conducted by batch and continuous experiments, and adsorption isotherms constructed from the data obtained. The effect of interfering anions on the adsorption capacity was also investigated as were the breakthrough behaviours of radioiodide in a column charged with the various adsorbents. Desorption of iodide from the modified zeolites into different solutions was also investigated. It was concluded that, in some cases, surfactant modification was an efficient process for the uptake and immobilization of iodide.
