EFFECTIVENESS OF HAIR WASTE IN BARBERSHOP AS AN ADSORBENT IN THE FILTRATION AND ADSORPTION PROCESS OF HOUSESHOLD LAUNDRY WASTE

Abstract

Abstrak A barbershop is a place where the general public gets their hair cut. Currently, the development of barbershops is increasing very rapidly and this has resulted in the accumulation of hair waste that has not been utilized optimally. Therefore, one way to increase the use value of this waste is to turn it into active carbon which can be used as a filtration and adsorption medium which can absorb fat, oil and heavy metal content in waste water, one of which is household laundry waste water. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the NaOH activating solution and the concentration of the NaOH activating solution on the quality of household laundry wastewater. The effect of varying the concentration of the NaOH activating solution and the comparison of the NaOH activating solution was carried out by comparing the results before analysis (COD, BOD, pH and TDS) and after analysis and by comparing data from the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation No. 32 of 2017. The filtration and adsorption process is carried out using hair waste as raw material which is processed into activated carbon with the comparison variables of the NaOH activating solution and the concentration of the 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5N NaOH activating solution as well as the product resulting from the filtration and adsorption process in the form of clean water which is then analyzed for COD, BOD, pH and TDS.
