Synthetic dyes contain naphthol dyes, one of which contains Cr metal. tie woven wastewater treatment can be carried out using adsorption methods, one of which is using activated charcoal. This study aims to determine the effect of using coffee grounds as an adsorbent on woven textile waste. The method in this study is an experimental method in the form of Posttest Only Control Group Design. The test parameters include the degree of acidity (pH), organoleptic test, and Chromium (Cr) content test. The results showed that the pH test before contact with activated charcoal had a pH value of 5 (acid), after contact with activated charcoal the pH value became 7 (neutral). Thus, the pH value can be said to meet the quality standards of tie-weaving liquid waste. Meanwhile, in organoleptic testing, there was a change in color from black waste to clear yellow. Whereas in testing the Cr level before contact with activated charcoal reached 4.60 mg/l after the addition of a dose of activated charcoal the Cr level decreased to 0.46 mg/l, 0.22 mg/l, and 0.38 mg/l. The effectiveness of the adsorbent ability of the Cr content test in each treatment (P1, P2, P3), still meets the requirements for the quality standard of woven textile wastewater from Cr metal dyes, SNI No 06-6989-22-2004, it can be concluded that the addition of coffee grounds has an effect on of textile woven wastewater.

Along with increasingly rapid technological developments in our country, the number of existing industries is increasing. Apart from producing useful products, this industry also produces waste. The waste produced contains a lot of heavy metals, one of which is the heavy metal lead. If the lead metal in the waste receives little treatment, this can cause pollution in the environment, even though this waste is present in small quantities, the lead condition is unstable and if it accumulates in the body, it can ultimately trigger cancer cells (carcinogenic) which can be dangerous for health. . In this research, adsorption of PB2+ ions was carried out on canned ground meat, where heavy metal contamination occurred in the ground meat. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the absorption of heavy metals (Pb) contained in ground beef and their characteristics. The uptake of PB2+ ions in ground beef, measuring the concentration of PB2+ ions before and after receiving treatment, was carried out using an instrument, namely AAS, at a wavelength of 217nm. The research results showed that the effectiveness of ground beef in absorbing PB2+ ions in canned food was as high as brand a: 0.023; brand b: 0.009; brand c: 0.006

Biodiesel, which is generally defined as monoalkyl esters from plant and animal fats, is an alternative fuel that has the potential to be used as a substitute for diesel fuel because of its characteristics. Used cooking oil or used cooking oil haD the potential to be processed into biodiesel and this study aims was to produce waste cooking oil into biodiesel from the results of the pre-treatment process of used cooking oil with bagasse waste, to find out the optimum result of the oil pretreatment proces and the raw material used was used cooking oil from the Rocket Chicken Food Court restaurant. Waste from sugarcane bagasse was useful as an adsorption process for the purification of used cooking oil which was able to reduce free fatty acid levels, water content, and impurities levels for the biodiesel process. The optimum particle size of bagasse waste for used cooking oil pretreatment was 30 mesh, with the analytical data was 1.93%  of free fatty acid, 0,0018 % for water content and 0,03% of firt level. The results of the Biodiesel analysis from the pre-treatment process were the viscosity was 5.7 Cst, the density was 860 kg/m3 and the acid number was 0.8 mg KOH/g oil. This result was accordance to the indonesian national standard No. 04-7182-2006.

Research has been carried out on the use of wood sawdust as an adsorbent for ikat weaving liquid waste. This research aims to determine the effect of using wood sawdust as an adsorbent on ikat weaving liquid waste. This research was carried out at the IKIP Muhammadiyah Maumere Laboratory and the Maumere Health Service Laboratory. The sample in this study was ikat woven liquid waste which was divided into four treatments, namely Control (K) and the other three were treatments (P1, P2, P3) with the addition of 1,2 and 3 grams of activated charcoal. The method in this research is an experimental method with the research design being True Experimental in the form of Posttest Only Control Group Design. The characteristic tests in this research include a water content test with a value of 0.0833%, and a yield test with a value of 1.9634%. The test parameters used include the degree of acidity (pH), Manganese (Mn) content test and organoleptic test. The research results showed that the pH value before contact with activated charcoal was 9.63 (alkaline pH), and after contact with activated charcoal at a dose of 3.0 grams the pH value became 8.01 (alkaline pH). In testing Mn levels before contact with activated charcoal, the value was 4.60 mg/l and after adding 1.0 grams, 2.0 grams and 3.0 grams of activated charcoal, there was a decrease in Manganese levels respectively, namely from 3 mg/l. , 2.78 mg/l and 1.83 mg/l. Furthermore, for the organoleptic test, there was a change in the color of the ikat woven liquid waste from initially black to clear yellow. Thus, it can be concluded that the addition of activated charcoal from sawdust can have an effect on ikat weaving liquid waste.

Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a significant increase in the demand for oxygen. More people require oxygen cylinders, yet the supply is insufficient to meet the community's needs. Oxygen Concentrators have become an essential device capable of producing pure oxygen with a purity level reaching 95% through the application of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. The resulting ratio produced by the concentrator is 33.4% for synthetic zeolite, 30% for silica gel, 20% for natural zeolite, and 26.7% for activated carbon.

Minyak jelantah merupakan minyak yang dipakai secara berulang-ulang. Seringnya pemakaian minyak jelantah menyebabkan penurunan kualitas minyak seperti warna menjadi coklat dan timbulnya bau menyengat atau tengik yang berpotensi membahayakan kesehatan tubuh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi potensi penambahan adsorben tempurung kelapa (Cocos nucifera) terhadap regenerasi minyak jelantah. Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa adsorben tempurung kelapa setelah dilakukan pengarangan dan aktivasi dapat meregenerasi minyak jelantah yang ditinjau dari berubahnya warna pada minyak jelantah yaitu menjadi lebih cerah atau kuning dan penurunan kadar asam lemak bebas atau FFA menurun hingga 75,73% dari kadar FFA minyak jelantah awal 1,03% menjadi 0,25%.
