The management of solid waste continues to be a leading challenge
in developing country like Malaysia. Rapid urbanization and
industrialization has changed the characteristics of solid waste
generated. Typically, leachate represents the water which passes
through the waste from precipitation from the waste within the
landfill site, resulting in a liquid containing suspended solid and
soluble components of the waste from the degradation of the waste
by macro-organisms. In common observation, leachate migrates
through the pores available within the mass and drains away in
drainage layer. To date, knowledge on the development and use of
activated carbon from fruit waste such as durian peel for leachate
treatment has not been established and documented yet. Therefore,
the ability of durian peel-based activated carbon was tested for
the removal of COD and colour from semi-aerobic landfill leachate
by adsorption process. Optimum variable conditions were determined
using response surface method. The removal pattern of the leachate
were investigated by batch adsorption test. Isotherm and kinetic
model were employed to determine the adsorption characteristic of
the prepared sample.
