Hydrogen Production as Alternative Energy Through the Electrolysis Process of Sea Water Originating from Mangrove Plant Areas

This research was conducted by utilizing seawater around mangrove forests, namely multi-functional areas in education. One of the objects electrolysis to determine content hydrogen gas is one renewable energy that has many advantages compared other energy. simple method produce whose source unlimited. The this study uses direct electric current or DC (Power Supply) and with an electrolyte volume 1000 ml, time 2, 4, 6, 8 minute using Copper electrodes (anode) Aluminum (cathode) selection cylindrical reactor types 1500 operating conditions 36°C 1 atm. As for free variables, voltages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 volt. With variations, results showed voltage greatly affects decomposition into gas. highest flow rate can be at a 20 volts minutes 1.8172 cc/sec (6545.51 ml/hour). on had no significant effect. 6 15 volt high results.
