Potential of Hyacinth Activated in Lowering Levels of Lead Heavy Metals by Method of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

The Barito River as the largest and longest river in South Kalimantan has been convicted as the most polluted river on an international level. Where one of the most commonly found compounds is the heavy metal lead (Pb) with a high enough levels that alternatives are needed to reduce the levels of the metal. One way to reduce the levels of such heavy metals is to use activated carbon hyacinth. So the activated carbon from hyacinth is made in accordance with SII No.0258-79 and knows the effect of variations in the administration of activated carbon hyacinth at a time of 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes in lowering the levels of lead heavy metals (Pb). The research method used to determine the effect of variations in the administration of activated carbon hyacinth is by quantitative testing using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry tool. The results showed that activated carbon hyacinth has met SII No.0258-79 with a randemen test result of 15%, water content of 3%, and absorption of iodine of 241.16 mg / gram. Significant value produced 0.742 with regression value (r) 0.999 and resulted in decreased lead metal levels in the variation of 15 minutes activated carbon administration of -0.030 mg / l with an absorption of 120%, 30 minutes of 0.073 mg / l with an absorption of 48% and 45 minutes of -0.097 mg / l with an absorption of 167%. Hyacinth activated carbon can be used to lower the levels of lead heavy metals (Pb) with a maximum contact time of 45 minutes by 167%.

THE EFFECT OF VARIATIONS OF LEAD METAL SOLUTION PH VARIATIONS ON ADSORBENT FROM TIRTA MUSI WASTE MUD WASTE PALEMBANG

Industrial waste can cause environmental pollution, one of which is solid metal waste. Lead is a dangerous and toxic heavy metal that can cause damage to the surrounding environment. Liquid waste containing mercury in industry contains a mixture of chemical compounds that other This causes the pH of the solution in the waste to vary. Lead metal waste needs to be treated with method one of which is the absorption of waste using an adsorbent. To enlarge the pores, the adsorbent will be activated using a 2 M KOH solution with the selected adsorbent, namely the sewage sludge of PDAM Tirta Musi Palembang which contains PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride) which can help optimize absorption. The level of metal degradation was analyzed using AAS with absorption parameters obtained 4 with an absorption capacity of 23 ,22 mg/g.

Roman lead ingots from Macedonia—the Augustan shipwreck of Comacchio (prov. Ferrara, Italy) and the reinterpretation of its lead ingots’ provenance deduced from lead isotope analysis

A shipwreck of the 3rd/2nd decade BC found near Comacchio (prov. Ferrara, Italy) in 1980 contained not only well-preserved technical equipment and commercial goods but also 102 Roman lead ingots. Since then, the origin of the ingots has been intensively discussed. Domergue et al. (2012) connected the epigraphic elements with lead isotope analyses and favored the southeastern Spanish lead ore mines being the source of the lead metal. An origin from the Balkan region (Illyricum) was favored by Dušanić (2008). Due to our investigations, both assumptions cannot be maintained. We present a new interpretation of the lead’s isotope signature which best match data of ore deposits from Chalkidiki, Thasos island, and Pangaion mountains in the northern Aegean region.

PENGARUH VARIASI PERENDAMAN UDANG VANAME (Litopenaeus vannamei) DALAM ASAM BUAH ALAMI TERHADAP PENURUNAN KADAR TIMBAL (Pb) DI TAMBAK TRADISIONAL PASIR SAKTI LAMPUNG TIMUR

Natural fruit acids are fruits that taste sour containing organic acids, one of which is citric acid, examples of natural fruit acids are tamarind, lime, lemon, pineapple. Natural fruit acids can be used as an ingredient for soaking food derived from fishery products to get rid of the fishy smell and give the people a flavor of cooking. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of immersion of natural fruit acids on the reduction of lead (Pb) levels in Vanamae shrimp, to determine which immersion variations had the most effect on reducing lead levels in Vanamae shrimp. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized block design (RAKL). The experiment was carried out with 5 treatments, namely Control (200 grams of shrimp without immersion), Treatment 1 (200 grams of shrimp + 25ml filtrate), Treatment 2 (200 grams of shrimp + 25ml of lime), Treatment 3 (200 grams of shrimp + 25ml filtrate lemon), and treatment 4 (200 grams of shrimp + 25 ml filtrate), each treatment was given 4 times each. Based on the analysis of the anava test, the results obtained Fhit> Fdaf, It was concluded that there was an effect of immersion in natural fruit acids on reducing the levels of lead (Pb) in Vaname shrimp meat, soaking with lime acid was the most significant to reduce the levels of lead metal Pb.

Lead Electrodeposition from Triethylenetetramine Solution Containing Inhibitors

Lead can be efficiently electrodeposited from a number of common leaching agents such as mineral acids, carboxylic acids, and bases (hydroxides and ammonia). This paper reports the possibility to deposit lead from a triethylenetetramine solution, which is also a powerful extracting agent for lead sulfate. The high affinity of triethylenetetramine towards lead sulfate molecules makes it a promising candidate for lead recovery from various solid materials, including industrial secondary resources, sewages, and wastes. A popular methodology that can be found in the literature to recover metal from amine is based on purging a solution with carbon dioxide, resulting in lead carbonate precipitation. Here, the direct electrodeposition of lead from an amine solution was reported. The effects of the main process parameters, i.e., current density, temperature, and presence of additives, were examined to enhance the product quality. Bone glue, ethylene glycol, and polyvinylpyrolidone were used as perspective inhibitors of dendritic lead formation. It was shown that the addition of ethylene glycol can significantly reduce their formation as well as discoloration resulting from amine, producing lead metal with a 99.9% purity.
