Abstract

The Fe3O4/GO-Zeolite adsorbent synthesis has been completed and employed to remove Mercury(Hg(II)) from the water solution. The Fe3O4/GO-Zeolite adsorbent was prepared using the coprecipitation method. The Fe3O4/GO-Zeolite adsorbent has a surface area of 249.9 m2/g, and an average pore is 2.37 nm. The type of Hg used is Mercury(II) Chloride (HgCl2) or Hg(II), which was diluted in a water solution. The characterizations used in this study were XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, VSM, and BET. The best performance of Fe3O4/GO-Zeolite adsorbent to adsorb Hg(II) in a water solution that has been achieved is 99.93% with an adsorption capacity of 6.6621 mg/g from the solution with a pH value of 8, temperature of 300C for 30 minutes.
