DESALINATION OF SEA WATER USING ACTIVATED ZEOLITE BY CLORIDE ACID IN TROPICAL AREA BASED ON COLUMN ION EXCHANGE METHOD

Abstrack: The main objective of this study is to reduce the content of salt in the sea water. Zeolite is material which applied by ion exchange method. Activation of zeolite is significant process which making pores of zeolite can accerelate the adsorption. This research used two size of zeolite which were 40 and 100 mesh. Zeolite can be activated using chloride acid. The highest concentration chloride acid can reduce salinity of sea water greater. This happens because the highest concentration of the reactant has stronger binding power so that the particles in the zeolite can absorb quickly. Based on parameters test of salinity of sea water confirmed the zeolite activated (ZA) with 100 mesh can be used as fresh water because its pH 6.25, tasteless, odorless, colorless, and value of turbidity is lower than 0.29 which is looks like fresh water. These properties have suitable for clean water for widely consumption of people.
