Abstract
A research on the study of the thermodynamics of adsorption mercapto-silica hybrid from rice husk ash to the ions Co (II) has been done. This study aims to determine capacity and energy adsorption of hybrid mercapto-silica (HMS) and silica gel (SG) to the ions Co (II) . In this study, silica gel was made using sodium silicate from rice husk ash. Furthermore, the organic compound 3-(trimethoxysilil )-1-prophantiol immobilized on SG to HMS produced. Adsorbents were characterized using X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectrophotometer. Solution of Co (II) is then contacted with the SG and HMS at the variation of pH, time , and initial concentration. The results obtained by HMS adsorption capacity is almost three times larger than the SG, the magnitude of adsorption capacity of each is 250.00 mg / g and 90.91 mg / g . While the adsorption energy obtained is 51.69 KJ / mol for SG , and 23.65 KJ / mol for HMS
