Abstract

This study investigates the application of electrocoagulation using aluminum electrodes to stabilize pH and remove pollutants from various real wastewater sources in Surabaya, Indonesia, including laundromats, fast food restaurants, campus canteens, mechanical workshops, and tofu industries. A batch-mode electrocoagulation process was conducted using 10 A of current over 60 minutes, and the performance was evaluated based on pH changes, turbidity, and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal. The highest TSS removal efficiency of 98% was observed in machine shop wastewater, while laundromat samples also achieved high performance with 97% reduction. Electrocoagulation demonstrated strong pH stability in effluents with buffering compounds such as those from campus canteens and workshops, whereas fluctuating pH and turbidity levels were found in tofu and fast-food effluents, indicating the need for process optimization. Turbidity decreased significantly across all samples, confirming effective floc formation during electrolysis. The findings confirm that electrocoagulation is a promising method for treating both domestic and urban wastewater. However, integrating additional processes such as adsorption or filtration is recommended to enhance performance for complex wastewater compositions and ensure compliance with discharge standards.

Abstract

Corrosion significantly impacts public safety and the economy, causing substantial financial losses, infrastructure damage, and hazardous incidents across various industries. Researchers investigated the effects of pH, current density, and corrosion inhibitors (potassium chromate and potassium nitrate) on iron corrosion by measuring weight loss of iron samples immersed in sulfuric acid over time. The addition of inhibitors showed that KNO3 was more effective in reducing the corrosion rate, with values of 4.992068, 3.744051, 2.736034, 1.728017, and 0.608008 mils per year, compared to K2CrO4, which resulted in 9.728132, 7.296099, 5.472066, 3.648033, and 1.216017 mils per year. Corrosion rate increased as pH decreased, with Fe showing corrosion at pH 6.21, 5.18, 4.26, 3.85, and 3.22. The relationship between current density and corrosion rate was found to be proportional, with voltage values of 1.31, 2.24, 3.16, 5.11, and 7.1 amperes per square meter (A/m^2). This study confirms that inhibitor type, acidity (pH), and current density significantly influence corrosion behavior, where increasing pH and current density can accelerate corrosion, and potassium nitrate (KNO3) demonstrates superior corrosion inhibition compared to potassium chromate (K2CrO4).
