Abstract

An increasing number of laundries have caused water contamination by surfactants. One commonly used surfactant is LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate), a material difficult to decompose, polluting the environment. Electrocoagulation was carried out using Al/Graphite electrode, applied to LAS surfactant artistic waste. This study aims to determine the functional ability of the Al/Graphite electrode in reducing surfactant through electrocoagulation. Various variations were carried out, on the voltage parameters (3,6,9,12) Volt; NaCl concentration (0;0.4;0.8;1.2;1.6;2) g/L; pH (3,5,7,9,11) and time (10,20,30,40,50) minutes. To analyze the changes in the sample before and after electrocoagulation, characterization was carried out using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer and FTIR. A kinetic study was conducted to determine the reaction order of electrocoagulation surfactant. Based on a study, removal at condition voltage 9 Volt, initial pH of the solution 9, electrocoagulation time 50 minute, and the addition of NaCl electrolyte 2 g/L, obtained surfactant concentration was 0,785 mg/L with removal efficiency 97,45%. UV-VIS spectra show a decreased absorption at a wavelength of 653 nm. FTIR spectra showed the presence of absorption on the same functional groups, which indicated that most of the surfactant pollutants could be separated from the wastewater through the electrocoagulation process. The second-order reaction was obtained in the surfactant electrocoagulation process.

Abstract

Electrocoagulation is one of the electrochemical methods for treating wastewater and separating pollutants. In this research, the electrocoagulation using Al/Graphite electrodes was applied to artistic wastewater containing carbofuran to see the reduction of its chemical oxygen demand(COD). The electrocoagulation process was chosen in this study based on several advantages, including easy to separate between impurities and the sample and a simple operating system. Several parameters such as electrolysis time, variations in electrolyte concentration, and the effect of pH have been investigated for their impact on the electrocoagulation process. The results showed that the proportion of the best reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD) was 64.40%. The best conditions were an electrolysis time of 60 minutes, an electrolyte concentration of 0.15 M, and a pH of 10. The results also show that the decrease in chemical oxygen demand (COD) dependson those parameters. These results were investigated further by characterization using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and FTIR spectroscopy. The results of the UV-Vis spectrum showed a decrease in intensity at a wavelength of 275 nm. Analysis of the FTIR spectrum between the initial sample and the results of the electrocoagulation showed that there were similar absorption peaks but with much smaller intensity, indicating that the effluent's pollutants have been deposited.Keywords: Electrocoagulation, Carbofuran, Al/Graphite, COD
