PENETAPAN KADAR TIMBAL (Pb) DAN TEMBAGA (Cu)

PADA GARAM DAPUR YANG BEREDAR DIPASARAN SECARA

SPEKTROFOTOMETRI SERAPAN ATOM

ABSTRAK

Garam yang beredar dipasaran merupakan garam yang dipakai sehari-hari oleh
masyarakat, baik yang dikonsumsi maupun yang digunakan untuk keperluan industri. Pada
proses pembuatan garam dari air laut kemungkinan telah mengandung timbal (Pb) dan
tembaga (Cu). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kadar timbal (Pb) dan tembaga
(Cu) dalam berbagai macam garam yang beredar dipasaran.
Penetapan kadar dilakukan dengan menggunakan spektrofotometer serapan atom
tanpa nyala. Analisis kuantitatif dilakukan pada logam timbal (Pb) pada panjang gelombang
283 nm dan logam tembaga (Cu) pada panjang gelombang 324 nm.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar Cu pada garam dolina108,5135 ± 8,4845
ppb, garam tradisional adalah 355,7413 ± 33,9138 ppb, garam ikan adalah 192,9603 ±
10,8610 ppb, dan garam A1 adalah 229,5659 ± 33,9138 ppb. Kadar Pb pada garam dolina
adalah 603,6946 ± 71,8142 ppb, garam tradisional seadalah 765,6632 ± 90,0570 ppb, garam
ikan adalah 678,4345 ± 232,4502 ppb, dan garam A1 adalah 634,0952 ± 195,3195 ppb.
Hasil uji beda berdasarkan uji statistik menunjukkan kandungan Cu dan Pb pada
garam tradisional ternyata berbeda signifikan dengan garam dolina, garam ikan dan garam
A1.
Kadar logam Timbal dan tembaga didalam keempat garam yg di periksa tidak
melebihi batas maksimum SNI No.01- 3556- 1994. Dari keempat jenis garam didapat bahwa
garam tradisional memiliki kandungan Cu dan Pb yang lebih besar dibandingkan garam
dolina, garam ikan dan garam A1.

Kata kunci : Logam Pb dan Cu pada garam yang beredar dipasaran secara spektrofotometer
serapan atom.

 THE STANDART DETERMINATION OF TIMBAL (Pb) AND
THE COPPER (Cu) FOR THE CIRCULATION SALT IN THE MARKET
IN ATOM ABSORPTION SPEKTROFOTOMETRI

ABSTRACT

Circulating salt in the market, was used everyday by the community, both that was
consumed by their self or used for the need of the industry. In the process of the production
of salt from water sea possibility contained the plumbum (Pb) and copper (Cu). The aim of
this research was to know the level of plumbum (Pb) and copper (Cu) in various circulating
salt sorts in the market.
The determination the level of was carried out with used spektrofotometer the
absorption of the atom without the flame. The quantitative analysis was used to plumbum
metal (Pb) in long the wave 283 nm and copper metal (Cu) in long the wave 324 nm.
Results of the research showed that the level of Cu to dolina’s salt was 108.5135 ±
8.4845 ppb, traditional salt was 355.7413 ± 33.9138 ppb, fish salt was 192.9603 ± 10.8610
ppb , and salt A1 was 229.5659 ± 33.9138 ppb. The level of Pb to dolina’s salt was 603.6946
± 71.8142 ppb, traditional salt was 765.6632 ± 90.0570 ppb, fish salt was 678.4345 ±
232.4502 ppb, and salt A1 was 634.0952 ± 195.3195 ppb.
Result of the difference test of being based on the statistical test showed the Cu
content and the Pb to traditional salt evidently different significant with dolina’s salt, fish salt
and salt A1.
The level of plumbum metal and copper in the four salts which checked, did not
exceed the maximum limit of SNI No.01-3556-1994. From the four salt, was gotten that
traditional salt had the Cu content and the Pb that were bigger compared with dolina salt, fish
salt and salt A1.

The key word: Pb Metal and Cu to circulating salt in the market in a spektrofotometer
absorption of the atom
