Investigation of time impact on electrocoagulation process to treat ablution wastewater

Abstract The ablution ritual performed by Muslims before praying requires large amounts of clean water (3.9 L - 4.42 L/person). This is a challenge that needs to be addressed, as in some places, scarce commodity. study aims treat wastewater at Masjid Al-Bukhari UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta using electrocoagulation. treated expected reused for rituals the mosque. Laboratory-scale research methods were wastewater. effect electrolysis time was evaluated determine efficiency method on parameters pH, temperature, total dissolved solid (TDS), conductivity, and ammonia level. Interestingly, electrocoagulation meets quality standards. means safe reuse activities mosques. has significant increase pH value decrease TDS levels decreased 65.3% when 40 min. Meanwhile, conductivity 526 µS/cm from initial 1108 60 Statistically, TDS, (α<0.05).
