Abstract

The quality of river water is influenced by the levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and turbidity, which serve as indicators of environmental pollution. An effective method to reduce these parameters is the coagulation-flocculation process. The effectiveness of this process depends on physicochemical and hydrodynamic factors, including impeller design. However, hydrodynamic aspects such as the number of blades, blade angle, and distance of the impeller from the bottom are rarely considered in detail in previous studies. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the optimal impeller design to improve TSS and turbidity removal efficiency. This study examines variations in the number of blades (2, 4, and 6), blade angles (0°, 30°, 45°, and 60°), and impeller distance from the bottom (3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm). The results indicate that the optimum impeller design for TSS and turbidity reduction is 6 blades, 0° blade angle, and 5 cm impeller distance from the bottom. Under these conditions, TSS removal reached 93.5%, while turbidity removal reached 98.2%. These results demonstrate that proper impeller design can significantly improve the efficiency of the coagulation-flocculation process.

Abstract

Mangrove vegetation plays a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide (CO₂) and supporting the sustainability of coastal ecosystems. Terminal Teluk Lamong (TTL), as a strategic port area, has developed mangrove conservation initiatives to support carbon emission mitigation efforts. This study aims to analyze the diversity, biomass, carbon stock, and carbon absorption capacity of mangrove vegetation at TTL using the PRIMER 7 Application. The analysis of mangrove vegetation diversity through PRIMER 7 revealed variations among observation stations at Terminal Teluk Lamong. Station 1 contained four species with a moderate diversity index (H’ = 1.187) and high evenness (J’ = 0.8566). Station 2 had three species with H’ = 0.826, indicating dominance by certain species. Station 3 showed the highest diversity, with six species and H’ = 1.307. Overall, the H’ values ranging from 0.8–1.3 indicate moderate diversity and a relatively stable mangrove community. In addition, the carbon absorption capacity reached 1,875,955.85 kg CO₂/ha, reflecting the high potential of mangrove vegetation in carbon sequestration. The findings highlight the effectiveness of mangroves as a natural carbon sink, which not only contributes to CO₂ absorption but also supports coastal ecosystem stability and environmental sustainability within the port area.

Abstract

The production of batik textiles causes serious environmental problems due to the direct discharge of wastewater into water bodies. The wastewater contains harmful substances that affect both living organisms and the environment. One effective treatment method is electrocoagulation, which combines electrochemical and flocculation–coagulation processes for wastewater treatment. This method reduces pollutant loads by varying electrode types. In this study, the electrodes used are Aluminum (Al), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn) with contact times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The electrodes are connected to a power supply and placed in an electrocoagulation reactor. The combination of electrode type and contact time significantly affects TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and turbidity. Longer contact time (30–120 minutes) leads to lower TSS and turbidity values due to the formation of Al(OH)₃ flocs, which adsorb suspended particles. The Al–Zn pair shows the best performance as it forms galvanic microcells that enhance metal ion dissolution. Statistical analysis reveals a strong correlation between TSS and turbidity, indicating effective treatment. Optimizing contact time improves electrocoagulation efficiency for batik wastewater treatment.
