ANALISIS PENGARUH UKURAN DIAMETER ZEOLIT TERHADAP PENURUNAN WARNA DAN KROM (CR) PADA AIR BUANGAN INDUSTRI TEKSTIL

The most common problems experienced by the textile industry in Indonesia is still a high level of color levels of waste that they dispose into the environment , as well as high levels of chromium contained in the dye . One of the materials that can be used to reduce levels of color and chrome contained in the waste is by using a zeolite, but in order to get the most need to know the size of the zeolite. Therefore, we need an analysis to determine the effect of the grain size of the zeolite to reduce levels of color and chrome are there in textile waste. In this study, researchers used a treatment using zeolite filtration system with a diameter < 0.5 cm and > 0.5 cm to determine the effect of grain size and grain size to get the most effective for treating the waste. From the study it was found that zeolite diameter < 0.5 cm is more effective in lowering the levels of color and chrome in the waste than the diameter of zeolite > 0.5 cm.
