Pengaruh Jarak Elektroda Dan Kuat Arus Pada Pengolahan Air Gambut Dengan Proses Elektrokoagulasi Secara Kontinu
ABSTRACT
Peat water is surface water that inundates an area, formed from a pile of organic
material for a long time. Peat water can cause skin irritation and metabolic
disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the
electrocoagulation method can be used to neutralize pH, and reduce levels of TSS
and Fe in peat water treatment and also to determine the effect of changes in
electrode spacing and current strength on decreasing TSS and Fe levels and
neutralizing the pH of peat water. The parameters tested include pH, TSS (Total
Suspended Solid), and Fe. The electrocoagulation process uses electric power
which flows in the direction through the electrodes. Electrocoagulation reactor
paired with a cable connected to the power supply and then connected to an
electric current with a variation of current strength (1.0; 1.4; and 1.8 A) and
electrode distance variations (0.5; 0.75; 1 inch). The results of this study giving
the optimum conditions obtained at a strong current of 1.8 A and 0,75 inch
electrode distance with an increase in pH from 3.5 to 6.8, a decrease in TSS from
128 to 36 mg / L, a decrease in Fe of 78.9% from 2.405 mg / L to 0.506 mg / L.
