Abstract

Abstract: Daily use of personal care products containing microbeads causes severe problems for the aquatic environment. Greywater is a pathway for microbeads to enter domestic waste and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) from personal care products. Their tiny size and hydrophobic nature allow microbeads to escape from WWTPs and end up in surface water. Therefore, processing efforts are needed to remove microbeads, one of which is using the electrocoagulation method with aluminum (Al) electrodes. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the electrocoagulation process using Al electrodes arranged in a monopolar configuration in a batch reactor to see the effect of variations in distance between electrodes of 1, 2.5, and 3.5 cm, stirring speed of 150, 200, and 250 rpm; with the contact time 60, 120, and 180 minutes in removing microbeads from artificial wastewater. This research shows that the best efficiency value of 99.30% occurs in operating conditions with a distance between electrodes of 2.5 cm, a stirring speed of 150 rpm, and a contact time of 180 minutes. ANOVA results showed that distance between electrodes, stirring speed, and contact time significantly affected microbead removal efficiency (p<0.05). The results of this research can be a reference for alternative tertiary processing at WWTPs.Abstrak: Penggunaan produk perawatan pribadi sehari-hari yang mengandung microbeads menyebabkan masalah serius bagi lingkungan perairan. Greywater merupakan jalur masuknya microbeads ke dalam limbah domestik dan instalasi pengolahan air limbah (IPAL) dari produk perawatan pribadi. Ukurannya yang sangat kecil dan sifat hidrofobiknya memungkinkan microbeads keluar dari IPAL dan berakhir ke air permukaan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan upaya pengolahan untuk menyisihkan microbeads, salah satunya dengan menggunakan metode elektrokoagulasi dengan elektroda aluminium (Al). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja proses elektrokoagulasi menggunakan elektroda Al yang disusun dalam konfigurasi monopolar dalam reaktor batch untuk melihat pengaruh variasi jarak antar elektroda 1, 2,5, dan 3,5 cm, kecepatan pengadukan 150, 200, dan 250 rpm, dan waktu kontak 60, 120, dan 180 menit dalam menyisihkan microbeads dari air limbah artifisial. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai efisiensi terbaik sebesar 99,30% terjadi pada kondisi operasi dengan jarak antar elektroda 2,5 cm, kecepatan pengadukan 150 rpm, dan waktu kontak 180 menit. Hasil ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa jarak antar elektroda, kecepatan pengadukan, dan waktu kontak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap efisiensi penyisihan microbead (p<0,05). Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi referensi alternatif pengolahan tersier di IPAL.

Abstract

Abstract: The increasing use of cosmetics and personal care products containing small-sized and low-density microbeads will disrupt the aquatic environment because they are difficult to remove in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Electrocoagulation (EC) is an effective technology for removing microbeads from greywater. This research aims to develop an effective cylindrical electrode geometry design in the EC process to reduce electrode passivation, as evidenced by the removal of polyethylene (PE) microbeads from greywater, reduced energy consumption, and the analysis of the EC kinetics model. Experiments were carried out on batch and continuous systems using artificial greywater with an initial concentration of 0.5 g/L. Variations made in the batch system are the geometry of the cylindrical electrode without holes (ESTB), a cylindrical electrode with holes (ESB), a cylindrical electrode with anode with holes, and a cathode with no holes (ESB-A), a cylindrical electrode with cathode, with holes and anode with no holes (ESB-K), and plate electrode (EP). The variations carried out in the continuous system were flow rates of 60, 70, 80, and 90 mL/minute using the best electrode geometry design obtained from the batch system. The best removal efficiency of PE microbeads in a batch system was 98.44% in ESB-K geometry and saved 75% energy consumption compared to EP. The best removal efficiency of PE microbeads in a continuous system was 79.76% at a flow rate of 60 mL/minute. The kinetic model of the EC reaction which corresponds to the removal process of PE microbeads is a first-order reaction. Future research should focus on optimizing the design of continuous reactors so that they can be applied to tertiary processing in domestic WWTPs and industrial WWTPs.Abstrak: Meningkatnya penggunaan kosmetik dan produk perawatan pribadi (CPCP) yang mengandung microbeads berukuran kecil dan berkepadatan rendah akan mengganggu lingkungan perairan karena sulit disisihkan di instalasi pengolahan air limbah (IPAL). Elektrokoagulasi adalah teknologi yang efektif untuk menyisihkan microbeads dari greywater.

Variasi yang dilakukan pada sistem kontinu adalah laju alir 60, 70, 80, dan 90 mL/menit menggunakan desain geometri elektroda terbaik yang diperoleh dari sistem batch. Efisiensi penyisihan microbeads polyethylene terbaik pada sistem batch sebesar 98,44% pada geometri ESB-K dan menghemat 75% konsumsi energi dibandingkan EP. Efisiensi penyisihan microbeads polyethylene terbaik pada sistem kontinu sebesar 79,76% pada laju alir 60 mL/menit.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi potensi filter biochar susunan seri dalam menyisihkan detergen dan fosfat dari air limbah artifisial. Filter yang digunakan terdiri atas media biochar dan busa poliuretan dengan perbandingan volume 2:1, disusun dalam dua kolom seri masing-masing setebal 40 cm. Proses filtrasi berlangsung selama 14 hari, dengan konsentrasi awal detergen sebesar 0,701 mg/L dan fosfat sebesar 1,303 mg/L. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi detergen pada efluen kolom seri 1 dan 2 masing-masing berkisar 0,21-0,43 mg/L dan 0,19–0,33 mg/L, dengan efisiensi penyisihan 39–70% dan 53–72%. Sementara itu, konsentrasi fosfat pada efluen kolom seri 1 berkisar 0,33–0,84 mg/L dengan efisiensi 35–74%, dan pada kolom seri 2 sebesar 0,14–0,66 mg/L dengan efisiensi 49–89%. Penyisihan yang lebih tinggi setelah melewati kolom seri 2 menunjukkan bahwa waktu retensi aliran berperan penting dalam meningkatkan efisiensi penyisihan kontaminan. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa filter berbasis biochar berpotensi sebagai media ramah lingkungan untuk pengolahan air limbah yang mengandung detergen dan fosfat.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors influencing environmental parameters in water and sediment and evaluate their impacts on ecosystems and biota, thereby providing a scientific basis for effective and sustainable water resource management. Measurements were conducted at 10 natural ecosystem locations comprising rivers, beaches, estuaries, and lakes in West Sumatra. The parameters measured in the water were temperature, pH, DO, and salinity, while in the sediment, pH, TOC, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and sulfate were measured. The results of the environmental parameter analysis in the water were Temperature (26.3 ± 0.65°C), pH (7.62 ± 0.43), DO (4.5 ± 0.81 mg/L), and Salinity (13.78 ± 13.95 ppt). In the sediment, the results were pH (6.74 ± 0.86), TOC (1.49 ± 0.29%), Ammonium (12.95 ± 5.34 mg/L), Nitrite (76.33 ± 34.26 mg/L), Nitrate (31.60 ± 5.25 mg/L), Phosphate (29.5 ± 20.37 mg/L), and Sulfate (29.46 ± 8.23 mg/L). Overall, the factors affecting water and sediment parameters are biological activity, land input, and anthropogenic contaminants. The ability of sediment to accumulate and absorb particles and chemicals is one of the factors causing the high concentration of environmental parameters in sediment

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze nitrogen removal by anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process using sludge from Muara Penjalinan Padang as an inoculum in a filter bioreactor (FtBR). The configuration of FtBR consisted of a housing filter with an effective volume of 1,500 mL and a string wound filter cartridge of 0.5 µm as a carrier for the growth of anammox bacteria. The artificial wastewater was made using seawater containing ammonium and nitrite with a concentration of 70 mg-N/L, which was delivered to the reactor continuously with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24 hours. Influent and effluent samples were collected once-twice a week to analyze the concentration of ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate, based on Nessler, spectrophotometry, and UV screening methods. Process anammox takes place in FtBR based on the average ratio of ?NO2--N/?NH4+-N and ?NO3--N / ?NH4+-N of 0.986 dan 0.239. The nitrogen removal performance was calculated based on the ammonium conversion efficiency (ACE), nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE), nitrogen loading rate (NLR), and nitrogen removal rate (NRR). After operating the reactor for 143 days, the nitrogen removal of ACE, NRE, and NRR were 20.268%, 16. 872%, and 0.026 kg-N/m3·d at NLR 0.1804 kg-N/m3·d.

Abstract

Efluen dari digester anaerobik multistages fixed-bed reactor pengolahan air limbah industri tahu di Desa Giriharja, Kabupaten Sumedang, memerlukan pengolahan lanjut karena masih mengandung nutrien amonium dan fosfor yang melebihi standar baku mutu untuk badan air. Presipitasi struvite merupakan presipitasi kimia yang memungkinkan untuk memperoleh kembali (recovery) amonium dan fosfat dari air limbah dengan cara penambahan magnesium. Air laut dapat digunakan sebagai sumber magnesium untuk proses presipitasi untuk mengurangi biaya operasional. Presipitasi struvite dipengaruhi oleh pH, ion-ion penting, suhu, dan zat-zat asing. Nilai pH yang tinggi dapat meningkatkan efisiensi penyisihan dan recovery P dan N, akan tetapi dapat meningkatkan presipitasi magnesium dan kalsium fosfat sehingga mengurangi kualitas kristal struvite yang terbentuk. Tingkat kejenuhan struvite berbanding lurus dengan logaritma konsentrasi ionik dalam kristal. Tingkat pertumbuhan, jenis dan ukuran kristal dipengaruhi oleh tinggi suhu. Tingginya konsentrasi zat asing pada larutan dapat mengakibatkan terhalangnya pertumbuhan kristal struvite. Penggunaan air laut sebagai sumber magnesium dalam presipitasi struvite dapat mengurangi biaya produksi, transportasi, serta menggantikan penggunaan bahan kimia.Nutrient Recovery from Tofu Wastewater Anaerobic Digester using Struvite Precipitation. Effluent from a multistage anaerobic digestion fixed-bed reactor for tofu industrial wastewater treatment in Giriharja Village, Sumedang Regency, requires further treatment because it still contains nutrients of ammonium and phosphorus that exceed the water quality standards. Struvite precipitation is a chemical precipitation process that allows for the recovery of ammonium and phosphate from wastewater by adding magnesium. Seawater can be used as a source of magnesium for the precipitation process to reduce operational costs. Struvite precipitation is affected by pH, essential ions, temperature, and foreign substances. A high pH value can increase the efficiency of P and N removal and recovery, but it can also increase the precipitation of magnesium and calcium phosphate, thereby reducing the quality of the struvite crystals formed. The level of struvite saturation is directly proportional to the logarithm of the ionic concentration in the crystals. The growth rate, type, and size of crystals are affected by temperature. High concentrations of foreign substances in the solution can inhibit struvite crystal growth. Using seawater as a source of magnesium in struvite precipitation can reduce production and transportation costs and replace the use of chemicals.
