Abstract

The ability of manggis husk to remove phenol substance from hospital waste water has been investigated. Phenol concentration was measured by using 4- aminoantipyrine as coloring agent and detected at 506 nm using a visible spectrophotometer spectronic 21. Several parameters that can affect phenol uptake such as particle size, pH and concentration of reagents were examined. Under the optimal conditions, phenol substance removal from aqueous solution is ca.94 %.
