Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan kombinasi arang aktif sekam padi dan zeolit sebagai adsorben dalam mengadsorpsi ion logam Cr(VI) dan mempelajari pengaruh komposisi adsorben kombinasi arang aktif sekam padi dan zeolit dalam mengadsorpsi ion logam Cr(VI), serta sensitivitas metode solid-phase spectrophotometry (SPS) untuk menentukan penurunan kadar ion logam Cr(VI) dalam skala μg/L. Arang aktif sekam padi yang digunakan diperoleh melalui proses aktivasi dengan perendaman dalam larutan ZnCl2 10% sedangkan zeolit menggunakan larutan H2SO4 10%. Pengontakan adsorben dengan ion logam Cr(VI) dilakukan dengan variasi komposisi adsorben arang aktif sekam padi dan zeolit 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, dan 2:1. Analisis kadar Cr(VI) dilakukan menggunakan metode solid-phase spectrophotometry (SPS). Karakterisasi arang aktif sekam padi dan zeolit dilakukan menggunakan FTIR. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) kombinasi arang aktif sekam padi dan zeolit dapat digunakan sebagai adsorben dalam mengadsorpsi ion logam Cr(VI) dengan kapasitas adsorpsi 0,28 µg/g; (2) komposisi optimum adsorben adalah 1:2 dengan persentase penyerapan sebesar 40,99%; (3) solid-phase spectrophotometry (SPS) merupakan metode yang sensitif untuk analisis penurunan kadar ion Cr(VI) dalam tingkat µg/L dengan Limit of Detection (LOD) sebesar 0,021 µg/L.

The activated rice husk charcoal used were obtained through the activation process by soaking in a solution of ZnCl2 10% while the zeolite with a solution of H2SO4 10%. The contacting process of the adsorbents with Cr(VI) metal ions was done by varying the compositions of the activated rice husk charcoal and zeolite adsorbent, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The data analysis of the Cr(VI) level used solid-phase spectrophotometry (SPS) method. Characterization of activated rice husk charcoal and zeolite used FTIR. The results showed that: (1) a combination of activated rice husk charcoal and zeolite can be used as adsorbent to adsorb Cr(VI) metal ions with the adsorption capacity was 0,28 15μ"> g/g; (2) the optimum composition of adsorbents was 1:2 with the percentage of absorption was 40,99%; (3) solid-phase spectrophotometry (SPS) is a sensitive method to determine the reduced levels of Cr(VI) in the level of 15μ"> g/L with the limit of detection (LOD) was 0,021 15μ"> g/L.
