The effect of aluminum electrode distance in electrocoagulation as a reductor of heavy metal lead (Pb) in water: An environmental health study

Electrocoagulation uses an aluminum electrode toreduce lead in water through a chemical reaction. The previous study employed voltage of 20 volts, current 10 amperes, and contact time 60 minutes to reduce lead. This follow-up is still being conducted on laboratory scale order determine the ideal distance. study's goal was examine influence spacing 15 cm, 17.5 cm decrease at volts period minutes. had true experimental design with post-test only control group. Data gathered from 6 replications 4 treatments, factors pH strength taken into consideration. results revealed difference decrease. occurred distance drop 0.018 mg/liter 0.024 mg/liter. did not affect variations reactor electrode. best reduction Aluminum cm.
