- Abstract
The increase in industrial activities that are not accompanied by adequate waste handling has led to a decrease in the quality of water used by the community. Therefore, a solution is needed that prioritizes the concept of a green economy, where waste can be processed into useful materials. One waste-based material that has the potential to be used in improving water quality is hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite is a compound with the chemical formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. This compound is the main mineral component of bones and teeth in animals. Hydroxyapatite is known to have the ability to bind various types of heavy metals such as Lead (II). Hydroxyapatite was produced by calcining pig bone waste at 400, 600, and 800C for 1 hour. The size of hydroxyapatite powder was also varied to get the best size for the heavy metal adsorption process. Hydroxyapatite characterization was carried out using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and a digital microscope. This study was conducted to determine the effect of calcination temperature and powder size on the adsorbing power of hydroxyapatite on solutions containing Lead (II) metals. The results of the study show that hydroxyapatite synthesized from pig bone waste is an effective adsorbent for removing Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption efficiency is significantly influenced by the calcination temperature and the particle size of the hydroxyapatite, with higher temperatures and finer particles providing superior performance. These findings highlight the potential of hydroxyapatite as a sustainable solution for heavy metal treatment in wastewater management.
