One of the industries that use hazardous and toxic (B3) on the production process is leather tannery industry, with a compound chromium (Cr). Chromium in the compound, including heavy metals that have a known toxicity of high power. Alkali compound is Ca(OH)2, NaOH,and NaHCO3 the chemicals that can be used for processing liquid waste leather tannery industry that contains chromium, which works to raise the pH and precipitate chromium solution so produced chrome hidroksida in the form of chromium (Cr(OH)3). Results of research it was found that the pH optimum for alkali compound at each pH condition 8, the separation efficiency of 99.28% chromium compound using alkali Ca (OH) 2 and NaOH, while the use of 98.50% NaHCO3. Alkali compound which most effective review of technical aspects to a decrease in the concentration of chromium in leather tannery wastewater is NaOH, because with a small dose is able to separate the chromium in the wastewater with a high efficiency (99.28%), while the most economical and is recommended for applications is in the Ca(OH)2. Key words : Ca(OH)2, Cr2O3, separation efficiency, hidroksida chromium (Cr(OH)3), NaHCO3, NaOH, pH optimum, alkali compound.
Domestic wastewater is wastewater from household activities such as kitchens, baths, laundry, and water closets. Domestic wastewater contains parameters that can cause environmental pollution, so it needs to be treated. One of the domestic waste treatment technologies is electrocoagulation. Electrocoagulation is a continuous coagulation process using direct electric current through electrochemical events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of current on electrocoagulation using Al-Fe electrodes in reducing contaminant levels of domestic wastewater (COD and TSS). The electrode configuration used in this study was Al-Fe, with a variation of the current strength used was 1 A, 2 A, 3 A. The electrocoagulation process was carried out continuously with a contact time of 12 minutes. The sampling process was replicated at 12 minutes, 17 minutes, 22 minutes, 27 minutes, 32 minutes, 37 minutes and 42 minutes. The instrument used in this study was an electrocoagulation reactor with dimensions of 6 cm x 10 cm x 18 cm with Al and Fe electrode configurations. Treatment of domestic waste using electrocoagulation and filtration technology can remove COD parameters in the Al-Fe electrode configuration with a current of 2 A and sampling at 27 minutes with an efficiency of 95%. The most optimum removal of TSS parameters of 94% was obtained in the Al-Fe electrode configuration with a current of 2 A and taking samples at 37 minutes.
We present an investigation of tofu wastewater that contains organic substances that can cause rapid microbial growth in the water. It can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels. In addition, tofu wastewater also contains suspended substances that cause turbidity. This study aims to evaluate changes in pH, temperature, and efficiency of reducing turbidity & chemical oxygen demand (COD) of tofu wastewater using a combination of electrocoagulation and ozone. This research method was carried out on a laboratory scale using tofu wastewater. The ozone generator is used for ozonising tofu wastewater and an acrylic batch type electrochemical reactor. The electrode material used for the anode and cathode is made of aluminum and iron sheets. There were also differences in the highest turbidity removal of 78.3% at the 60
th
min when the wastewater was treated using a combination of electrocoagulation followed by ozone. The highest COD removal of 51.9% resulted from the treatment of tofu wastewater using ozone for 60 min. The initial temperature was 27.6°C then increased by 28.1°C (1.8%). Combination of electrocoagulation followed by ozone was more effective in reducing pollutants in tofu wastewater.
Indonesia is one of the countries that still have to deal with waste problems. In reducing waste, the government has made a series of efforts to reduce waste, especially wastewater. There are many kinds of wastewater. One of them is laundry wastewater. This research aims to estimate the dangerous substance in laundry wastewater and how to treat it. The method using some variables like Al-Al, Al-Fe, Fe-Fe, and Fe-Al and the voltage is changing from 20 V, 30 V, 40 V, and 60 V. The research shows that the most optimum result of laundry wastewater treatment was using Al-Fe electrode plate 60 V. The result that the phosphate concentration decreased by 6.56 mg/l from 9.58 mg/l to 3.01 mg/l and obtained phosphate removal efficiency of 68.56%. The most optimum results for the removal of phosphate levels contained in the 60 V voltage.
Almost all human life requires water, one of which is washing clothes. However, city people tend to use laundry services. It is necessary to treat laundry wastewater because it contains parameters that can cause environmental pollution. A promising technique has been found to treat urban wastewater, especially laundry wastewater. An electrochemical method for water treatment is known as electrocoagulation, in which a solution of an active coagulant in the form of metal ions (aluminum or iron) is introduced into a solution. In electrocoagulation, the processes of adsorption, coagulation, precipitation, and flotation taking place. This research was conducted to determine the impact of current on electrocoagulation using Al-Al, Fe-Fe, Al-Fe, Fe-Al electrodes in reducing surfactant levels in laundry wastewater with variations in the voltage used were 20 V, 30 V, 40 V, and 60 V. The results showed that the electrocoagulation process could remove surfactants in laundry wastewater. A voltage of 30 volts with Al-Al electrode configuration was used for 30 minutes to obtain optimum conditions so that it will get a surfactant effluent concentration of 5.77 mg/L with a removal efficiency of 72.89%.
