Pengaruh Jarak Elektroda dan Tegangan terhadap Efektivitas Pengolahan Air Lindi dengan Metode Elektrokoagulasi-Adsorpsi Zeolit

Abstract

The problem that has been difficult to overcome until now is the waste problem. Landfilling remains a method that is often used but has a disadvantage in the form of leachate production. Leachate or leachate is defined as wastewater produced from Final Disposal Sites (TPA). The combination of electrocoagulation and adsorption methods can be a promising treatment technology. The electrocoagulation process was carried out for 1 hour using iron electrodes. The variations used are electrode distances consisting of 1 cm, 1.5 cm, and 2 cm while the voltages consist of 10 volts, 20 volts, and 30 volts. In adsorption, zeolite adsorbent was used with a residence time of 2 hours. The research stages started from the preparation of leachate samples, examination of initial characteristics, leachate treatment, and testing of COD, TSS, and pH. The results showed that the optimal variation was obtained at a distance of 1 cm and a voltage of 30 volts with a COD efficiency of 98.84% and TSS of 99.82%. For the pH value, the result is that the greater the distance between the electrodes and the voltage, the higher the pH value obtained.

Car service station wastewater treatment using electrocoagulation technology

“…Voltage really affects the way the pH increases in electrocoagulation, where if the voltage is increased until an increasing number of H + and OH-ions are created at the cathode electrode, then if it continues to be a lot of water is created until the initial pH is acidic, it is also the opposite if the initial pH is basic, then the reduction reaction takes place at the cathode that produces water until the pH is neutral. [23][24][25] The results obtained are the same as those of previous research by Fadhila et al 26 , which states that pH can be neutralized by the electrocoagulation method, where the initial pH of 0.56 can be neutralised to 4.1 at a voltage of 12 Volts. The increase in pH in the electrocoagulation method is due to the reduction reaction occurring at the cathode of the aluminum electrode, where the reduction reaction creates H + ions and OH-ions that form water.…”

Study of the Use of Aluminum (Al) Electrodes in the Electrocoagulation Method for Reducing COD and BOD in Leachate Water

“…This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of using aluminum electrodes (Al) in the electrocoagulation process by varying several key parameters, namely voltage, time, and electrode distance. By identifying the most effective combination of parameters, this research is expected to provide valuable insights into the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly leachate treatment technologies [3].…”
