Abstract


Ion Exchange Filter Media Capabilities in Well Water Nitrate Levels Lowering Gali in the Areas of the Coastal Zone. Nitrogen compounds in small quantities does not cause interference, whereas in high levels can cause illness and even death. It also can cause methoemoglobinaemia baby through foods containing nitrates come mainly water wells that have not memenuhin conditions. Filtration technology with ion exchange media to reduce the content of nitrogen contained in the community dug well waterThis study aims to determine the ability of ion exchange filtration in lowering the levels of nitrate (NO3) in water wells coastal areas. This research is Praexpriment with Pretest-Posttest Design that begins with a literature review, preliminary studies and research core that is making filtration apparatus with zeolite filter media as ion exchangers. Data on laboratory results were analyzed descriptively explained in the form of tables, graphs and narrative that describes the overall process that occurred during the research. Based on the research that the ion exchange filter media for reducing levels of flat-ratanitrat(NO3) water wellsfrom initial levels of 16.43 mg / l to 5.67 mg / l with efficiency decreased by 10.77 mg / l (65.52%). The result of this processing is compliant with the appropriate standardsMinister of Health Regulation No. 32 year of 2017 about Clean of the Water of  nitrate levels (NO3) as maximum that is allowed is respectively 10 mg/L and Nitrite (NO2) is respectively 1 mg/L.

 

Keywords : Filtration, ion exchange, zeolites, activated carbon, nitrate (NO3).
