This research investigated the efficacy of bio-adsorbents in treating contaminated water environments by examining the concentration of various physicochemical parameters. Specifically, different sizes of palm fruit fibers were studied to determine their effectiveness in water treatment. The study monitored changes in Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration and other physicochemical properties of contaminants before and after treatment with each fiber sample. The experiment demonstrated a reduction in TPH concentration as contaminated water passed through each sample container, influenced by temperature variations. Morphological analysis of the palm fruit fibers (both room-dried and sun-dried) revealed varying concentrations of elements crucial for bio-adsorption. Sun-dried fibers exhibited higher levels of calcium (Ca), oxygen (O2), carbon (C), and sulfur (S), whereas room-dried fibers showed elevated concentrations of magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). These findings underscored the temperature-dependent effectiveness of bio-adsorbents in treating contaminants, thereby mitigating the presence of toxic substances in polluted water environments. The study contributes to understanding how operational temperatures affect the rate of contaminant removal, crucial for optimizing bio-adsorbent performance in water treatment applications.
