High molecular chitosan-based seed shells (Tachypleus gigas) with silver nanoparticles as waste treatment of palm oil industry (pome)

The focus of this study is to Investigate, study and modification of chitosan molecules tow with nano silver particles as an adsorbent for absorbing oil industry palm oil mill effluent. Liquid waste palm oil industry (POME) from local palm oil mill is used as a sample of oily wastewater. High molecular chitosan from crab shells do crosslink raw materials has to Overcome the disadvantages as the adsorbent, the Appropriate crosslink is AgNO3 used for this study. The controlled variable is the volume of the adsorbent, contact time and pH. A batch of detailed studies on high-molecular chitosan and chitosan Also -nanoparticles and silver are conducted with respect to the adsorption capacity, isotherm. Characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrophotometer see changes in the functional groups of high molecular chitosan and chitosan -nanoparticle silver that has been crosslinked before and after the adsorption treatment to prove that the palm oil industry waste liquid has been absorbed by the adsorbent. The performance is assessed in terms of turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS) of chemical oxygen demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Parameter metallic iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn). Using maximum adsorption capacity of the high-molecular chitosan nanoparticles of silver is calculated. This research study Will Prove the high molecular chitosan and chitosan silver -nanoparticle high molecular adsorbent after cross section as expected very potential to absorb liquid palm oil mill waste industry.
