Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan rasio optimum antara limbah kaleng minuman dan kalium hidroksida (KOH) dalam pembuatan tawas (aluminium sulfat) sebagai koagulan penjernih air. Metode yang digunakan terdiri dari lima tahap, yaitu preparasi, pelarutan, pengendapan alum, pencucian, dan pengeringan. Variabel rasio limbah kaleng terhadap larutan KOH 30% divariasikan sebesar 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, dan 5%. Parameter yang dianalisis meliputi kadar aluminium dalam tawas, rendemen, dan efektivitas tawas dalam menurunkan kekeruhan air. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa tawas mampu menurunkan kekeruhan air limbah industri dari 55,6 NTU menjadi 16,4 NTU. Rendemen optimum diperoleh pada rasio 3% sebesar 68,91% dengan kadar aluminium 33,80% dan susut pengeringan 9,97%. Efektivitas penurunan kekeruhan ini mengacu pada standar turbiditas menurut SNI 6989.57:2008 dan Permenkes No. 32 Tahun 2017, di mana air bersih non-konsumsi idealnya memiliki kekeruhan di bawah 50 NTU. Dengan demikian, tawas hasil daur ulang ini menunjukkan potensi sebagai koagulan alternatif dalam pengolahan air limbah.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"> </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Kata kunci: Tawas, limbah kaleng minuman, koagulan, penjernih air</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"> </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Recycling aluminum-based beverage can waste offers a sustainable approach to reducing energy consumption, conserving natural resources, and increasing waste valorization. This study aimed to determine the optimum ratio of beverage can waste to potassium hydroxide (KOH) in synthesizing alum (aluminum sulfate) as an alternative coagulant for wastewater treatment from a petrochemical industry in Anyer, Banten Province, Indonesia. Alum was synthesized through preparation, alkaline dissolution, precipitation, washing, and drying using beverage can waste to 30% KOH ratios of 1–5%. Performance evaluation included yield, aluminum content, drying loss, and coagulation effectiveness based on turbidity, pH, color, and odor.The results showed that recycled alum reduced turbidity from 55.6 NTU to 16.4 NTU, decreased pH from 7.39 to 7.22, and eliminated color and odor. The optimum condition was achieved at a 3% ratio, yielding 68.91% alum with 33.80% aluminum content and 9.97% drying loss. All treated water parameters met Indonesian non-potable clean water standards according to SNI 6989.57:2008 and Ministry of Health Regulation No. 32/2017, demonstrating the potential of recycled alum as a sustainable alternative coagulant.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"> </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Keywords: alum, aluminum recycling, beverage can waste, coagulant, wastewater treatment.</p> Nina Arlofa Shohifah Annur Angga Tri Prasetyo Ali Hotman Dzulfathi Achyar Abdullah Copyright (c) 2026 Nina Arlofa, Shohifah Annur, Angga Tri Prasetyo, Ali Hotman Dzulfathi, Achyar Abdullah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-04-07 2026-04-07 13 21 10.23960/analit.v10i02.219 ADSORPTION of METHYL ORANGE DYE USING POWDERED ACACIA (Crassicarpa) BARK AS AN ADSORBENT https://analit.fmipa.unila.ac.id/index.php/analit/article/view/233 <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>ABSTRAK </strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Serbuk kulit kayu <em>Acacia crassicarpa</em> adalah biomassa lignoselulosa yang kaya akan selulosa, diteliti sebagai biosorben untuk menghilangkan Metil Oranye (MO) dari larutan berair.

Taguchi's experimental method was employed to obtain the anti-UV properties and optimal mechanical characteristics of the PVA/DS polymer. Factors studied include DS concentration and sample size. The experimental design was prepared using an orthogonal array L16. The ability to block UV radiation (anti-UV) and the mechanical properties of polymer films are determined using UV Vis spectra and tensile testing (ASTM D638). The results of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio analysis show that the DS concentration factor is the most dominant variable in the anti-UV response, with a DS concentration influence factor (delta) value of 72.261, compared to a sample thickness of 1.605. Likewise, for elongation at break, the delta value of DS concentration is 2.43, which is higher than the cross-sectional area of 1.31. Meanwhile, for the tensile strength performance, neither factor was significant; however, the cross-sectional area factor was more dominant than the DS concentration, with a cross-sectional area delta value of 3.29, which is higher than the DS concentration of 2.77. The addition of DS concentration to the anti-UV response is able to block 100% of UV rays compared to PVA, which is only 16%. Meanwhile, for tensile strength, there was a 50.98% increase. The tensile strength of PVA/DS1 reached 75.67 MPa compared to PVA, which was only 50.12 MPa. Meanwhile, elongation at break increased by 14.71% in PVA/DS0.5 (304.43%) compared to PVA (265.40%). Thus, this research successfully applied the Taguchi method to identify the optimum factor combination with a minimum number of experiments. PVA/DS1 film (1% DS) is a film with optimum conditions that can provide superior performance, making it an alternative to conventional plastics that do not decompose easily</p> Hery Sunarsono Hairul Abral Adjar Pratoto Elisabeth Feberlian Gulo Melbi Mahardika Mat Uzir Wahit Vitri Aprila Handayani Copyright (c) 2026 Hery Sunarsono, Hairul Abral, Adjar Pratoto, Elisabeth Feberlian Gulo, Melbi Mahardika, Mat Uzir Wahit, Vitri Aprila Handayani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-02-12 2026-02-12 1 12 10.23960/analit.v10i02.231
