Abstract
Some people in the city of Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia still use wells water to meet the needs of clean water. Some of the well water samples contain Pb2+ ion of 0.15-0.23 mg·L-1. This level exceeds the maximum limit of clean air requirements in Indonesia Standard Ministry of Health Regulation No. 416 of 1990, maximum Pb2+ ion level 0.05 mg·L-1. The purpose of this research is to know the adsorption efficiency of IR 120 Na amine resin on Pb2+ ion; The isotherm condition of Freundlich and Langmuir. The study was conducted in three stages: 1) analyzing the physical properties and chemical content of samples; 2) processing the air in a cation exchanger processing installation; 3) analyze the content of Pb2+ ions processed air. The results showed that Pb2+ ion adsorption by IR amberlite resin 120 Na was 90.87-99.57%; In the use of resin mass of 20-100 g and feed rate of 0.0208-0.0435 L·s-1 showed that the Pb2+content of the processed air has met the standard. Adsorption of Pb2+ ions by isotherm with equations of Freundlich and Langmuir equations. Freudlich equation constant is n = 1.6943 and Kf = 6.9984 with result of 0.9715. Langmuir equation constant is As = 0.0175 and Kb = 136.8363 with research result of 0.8863.
