Abstract

Batik industries, ranging from household-scale to large-scale, generate wastewater containing high levels of organic compounds, dyes, and other pollutants such as COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids), which are difficult to degrade. Wastewater treatment is necessary to reduce pollutant content to meet environmental quality standards. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of the Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) using the electro-Fenton method. The objective of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of and optimise the ElectroFenton process for reducing COD and TSS in batik wastewater. The study aims to determine the optimal combination of current intensity, contact time, and molar ratio of H2O2:FeSO4 that yields the highest removal efficiency. Based on the survey, the electro-Fenton treatment achieved a COD removal efficiency of 77.14% under conditions of 5 amperes current, 55 minutes contact time, and ratio of 10:0.3. At a current of 3 amperes, a contact time of 55 minutes, and a ratio of 10:0.3, the TSS removal efficiency was 98.3%.

Abstract

This study aimed to utilize fly ash, a solid waste generated from coal combustion in the fertilizer industry, as an alternative coagulant for wastewater treatment. Fly ash was activated using H₂SO₄ at varying concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) and coagulant dosages (2 mL, 4 mL, and 6 mL). The effectiveness of fly ash as a coagulant in degrading suspended particles and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), as well as in reducing wastewater pH, was analyzed using the jar test method. The results demonstrated that fly ash coagulant was effective in reducing Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and COD, with the most significant reduction observed at a dosage of 4 mL and an H₂SO₄ concentration of 8%. Under these conditions, TSS decreased by 82.35% (from 0.79019 kg/ton to 0.13945 kg/ton), while COD decreased by 72.72% (from 0.02045 kg/ton to 0.00558 kg/ton). Correlation analysis indicated a strong relationship between H₂SO₄ concentration, coagulant dosage, and the reduction of TSS and COD. Although effective in reducing TSS and COD, the fly ash coagulant caused a decrease in wastewater pH due to its acidic nature. Further research is required to improve wastewater pH after the addition of fly ash coagulant.

Abstract

The research was carried out in two stages. First, the electrocoagulation process was performed using aluminium electrodes with electric current settings of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 amperes and contact times of 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes. Second, the ozonation process was conducted with contact time variations of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. The analysed parameters were TSS, COD, and colour, and the data were further evaluated using ANOVA to determine the statistical significance of the treatment factors. The combination of electrocoagulation and ozonation demonstrates significant potential as an alternative method for reducing pollutant load in batik wastewater, particularly by lowering Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and colour. The electrocoagulation process achieved 98% TSS reduction and 67% COD reduction. Subsequently, ozonation further enhanced treatment efficiency, resulting in an impressive 93% reduction in COD and 37% reduction in colour. These promising results highlight the combined method's capability to support more environmentally friendly wastewater treatment efforts.

Abstract

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the industrial sector have a significant impact on global climate change. To assess the overall environmental impact, an analysis capable of mapping emissions from various operational activities is required. This study aims to analyze GHG emissions in a manufacturing company that focuses on turbocharger system assembly and services using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. The analysis was conducted with reference to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and openLCA software, with the scope of research covering the transportation and energy sectors within the company. The inventory results show that the energy sector is the main contributor to emissions, with the largest impact category being climate change (GWP 100a). Next, a scenario analysis was conducted, namely real conditions, the use of solar panels, the use of diesel fuel, and a mixture. A comparison of the scenarios showed that the use of renewable energy in the form of solar panels could significantly reduce GHG emissions compared to the current conditions. This study confirms that the application of LCA can provide a quantitative picture of the potential environmental impact and serve as a scientific basis for formulating GHG emission management strategies in the industrial sector.

Abstract

Batik wastewater contains high levels of total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity, making it difficult to decompose naturally. To prevent environmental pollution, this study investigated a treatment method that combined coagulation in a mixing tank and flocculation using a hydrocyclone. Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was used as the coagulant. The coagulation process was tested at stirring speeds of 100–140 rpm and coagulant doses of 150–300 mg/L. The results showed that a coagulant dose of 300 mg/L and a stirring speed of 140 rpm achieved the highest removal efficiencies: 95.45% for TSS and 95.24% for turbidity. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed that the coagulant dose significantly affected removal efficiency (p=0.049), whereas the stirring speed did not have a significant effect (p=0.77). Furthermore, particle size analysis (PSA) and zeta potential tests indicated that the PAC coagulant successfully destabilized the suspension in the wastewater, leading to the formation of large aggregates and accelerating the separation process. Overall, these results indicate that combining a coagulation mixing tank with a hydrocyclone flocculation unit offers an efficient and rapid solution for treating batik wastewater.
