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).

Abstract

CO2 in industrial gas streams reduces process efficiency, corrodes equipment, and affects product quality. Additionally, CO2 emissions contribute to climate change and global warming. To mitigate these effects, CO2 removal through absorption is essential. Absorption involves contacting a gas mixture with a liquid absorbent to dissolve the gas component. This study examines the effect of CO2 flow rate (V) and NaOH flow rate (L) on CO2 absorption efficiency. The experiment involved preparing 33 liters of 0.1 normal NaOH and 250 milliliters of 0.1 normal HCl, followed by solution standardization using methyl orange. CO2 was introduced through valve V-4 while NaOH was pumped into the absorption column. Samples were taken after steady state was reached, and titration with 0.1 normal HCl determined residual NaOH concentration. Flow rate variations of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 liters per minute were tested. Results align with literature, indicating that as CO2 flow rate increases, NaOH flow rate also rises. However, the L/V ratio and absorbed CO2 amount decrease due to reduced contact time, lowering absorption efficiency. This study highlights the importance of optimizing flow rates to enhance CO2 capture.

Abstract

The utilization of natural fiber-based composites has emerged as a promising alternative to synthetic materials because of their lightweight, high strength, and eco-friendly characteristics. This research investigates the influence of combining sugar palm fiber and pineapple leaf fiber on the flexural strength and macrostructural characteristics of polyester-matrix composites. Specimens were fabricated using the hand lay-up press technique, while flexural strength testing followed the ASTM D-790 standard. Macrostructural analysis was performed using a macro lens to evaluate fiber distribution, void presence, and delamination. The results confirmed that fiber composition significantly affected both mechanical and structural properties. Among all specimens, the pineapple-fiber-dominant composite (Specimen 5) achieved the highest flexural strength of 80 MPa, whereas the specimen with higher sugar palm fiber content (Specimen 3) showed the lowest value of 59.4 MPa. Improved performance was strongly associated with uniform fiber distribution, effective interfacial bonding, and reduced voids. Overall, the findings highlight the considerable potential of natural fibers as reinforcements for producing strong, durable, and sustainable composite materials.
