Abstract

The application of natural clay as an adsorbent has been widely used. This is supported by the porous surface texture of the clay. However, some treatments are needed to remove impurities in natural clay before using it as an adsorbent. The common effort is to activate it with acid. This research studied the effect of hydrochloric acid concentration on the adsorption capacity of methylene blue dye. The concentrations of hydrochloric acid used were 2, 3, and 4 M. Characterization was carried out with IR, XRD, and SEM-EDX spectroscopy to see the differences in ONC characters before and after adding hydrochloric acid. The characterization results showed that ONC contained montmorillonite and quartz, and an increase in base distance was directly proportional to the increase in the concentration of hydrochloric acid used. High concentrations of hydrochloric acid caused excessive dealumination and deionization. The dealumination process was supported by IR data where there was a shift in wavenumber in the Al-O stretching vibration region from 796 cm–1 to 794 cm–1; the sharper the vibration in the Si-O region (488-468 cm–1); there was also an increase in the Si/Al ratio of pure ONC from 1.7497 to 2.2970 for 3 M ONC-HCl. The concentration of hydrochloric acid did not significantly affect the capacity of ONC as an adsorbent for methylene blue. The adsorption capacity of pure ONC obtained was 4.97215 mg/g, while for ONC-HCl 3 M was 4.97746 mg/g.
