Abstract
Metals removal from wastewater has become a major concern over the years due to the adverse effects of metals on organisms and environment. Adsorption is one of the safest, simplest, and most cost-effective methods for metals removal. The primary purpose of this study was to develop a magnetically separable activated carbon from pineapple crown leaf for zinc removal. Magnetic activated carbon (MAC) were characterized by SEM-EDX and FTIR. The ability of MAC to adsorb zinc ion was studied through variation of initial solution pH, concentration, and contact time. The optimum pH for zinc removal was four, while the equilibrium was reached after 180 min. In this condition, the percentage removal of zinc was 70.5%.
