CIGAMONS, PKM-RE University of Jember Team Creates Lead Adsorbent for Cigarette Industry Liquid Waste from Used Butts

News, Student, , ,

The tobacco products industry (IHT) is one of the sectors that contributes greatly to the national economy in Indonesia. One of the IHT products is cigarettes. One cigarette butt contains various dangerous substances such as arsenic, pyridine, and heavy metals, which, if thrown away, can pollute water. Liquid waste produced by IHT also contains nicotine, nitrosamines, and heavy metals such as Cu (copper) and Pb (lead), which can pollute waters and contaminate drinking water sources. According to the WHO, the habit of throwing cigarette butts carelessly is carried out by millions of people; at least two-thirds of cigarette butts are found scattered on sidewalks, cafes, and parks and end up in rivers and even the ocean.

CIGAMONS is here as the Jember University PKM-RE Team to answer this problem. The team consists of 5 people, namely Moh. Zeinur Ridho, Retno Pertiwi, Eldo Delta Bagaskara, Raya Rambu Rambani from S1 Chemistry, and Chika Synthia Pitaloka from S1 Environmental Engineering who were supervised by Dr. Muhammad Reza, S.Si., M.Sc., M.Si. This team successfully passed funding for the Student Creativity Program in the field of Exact Research (PKM-RE), with the title “Pemanfaatan Puntung Rokok Bekas Termodifikasi Surfaktan Alami Sebagai Adsorben Timbal Pada Limbah Cair Industri Rokok Dalam Upaya Penerapan Ekonomi Sirkular“.
