Neutralization of Acidity (pH) and Reduction of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) by Solar-Powered Electrocoagulation System

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