Abstract

This study investigates the effect of electrocoagulation contact time on the pH and TSS of wastewater discharged from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of the Psychiatric Hospital of West Java Province. The experiment followed the pretest-posttest control group design. This study involved testing 56 wastewater samples six times before and after treatment. Each treatment was repeated four times, and there was one control group for each repetition. The electrocoagulation tool used in this study consisted of six 1-mm electrode plates that were 8 cm apart, a current strength of 5A, a voltage of 12V, and a 50-Watt solar panel. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that all electrocoagulation contact time treatments had a significant effect on increasing the pH and the TSS. Additionally, the electrocoagulation tool was found to be effective, stable, portable, and environmentally friendly, with a self-cleaning system that reduced operational costs and saved electricity through the use of solar panels. This study contributes to the development of an effective electrocoagulation toll for wastewater treatment and the determination of the optimal contact time for the tool, providing a practical solution to overcome the problems of pH and TSS in wastewater. These findings can be applied to other wastewater treatment plants, thus improving the quality of discharged wastewater. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-05-09 Full Text: PDF

太阳能电凝系统中和酸性(pH)和减少总悬浮固体(TSS)

研究了电凝接触时间对西爪哇省精神病院污水处理厂废水pH和TSS的影响。实验采用前测后测对照组设计。本研究对56份废水样本进行了处理前后6次测试。每次治疗重复4次，每次重复设1个对照组。本研究中使用的电凝工具由6块间距为8cm的1mm极板，电流强度为5A，电压为12V, 50w太阳能电池板组成。采用描述性统计和推理统计对数据进行分析。结果表明，各电凝接触时间处理对提高pH和TSS均有显著作用。此外，电凝工具有效、稳定、便携、环保，其自清洁系统降低了操作成本，并通过使用太阳能电池板节省了电力。本研究有助于开发一种有效的废水电絮凝处理工具，并确定该工具的最佳接触时间，为克服废水中的pH和TSS问题提供实用的解决方案。这些发现可以应用于其他污水处理厂，从而提高排放废水的质量。Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-05-09全文:PDF
