Result of effect of contact time research

Efficiency study result :
from main journal :
 HASIL DAN DISKUSI

Average Efficiency :
IRN77 : 99.10561%
SKN1 : 98.20628%
As comparison :
Activated carbon (Commiphora Wightii bark) : 85%
 CONCLUSION

The adsorptions of cobalt by the both resin are effective in pH condition

below 8.77.
The values of 1/n for the both resins are less than 1, this mean that the
both resins are favorable for adsorption.
The efficiency of the adsorptions by the both resins give quite large
number, those are almost 100%.
From the studies that has been done, it can be seen that the both resins
give good results in adsorbing cobalt, therefore these resins will probably
doing great too in its real application in the wastewater treatment.
