Abstract

Hospitals are one of the service facilities that produce large amounts and quality of liquid waste that requires special attention because it contains hazardous materials for public health and the environment. This study aims to determine the quality of COD and BOD effluents in X Hospital. The type of research used is observational with a descriptive approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where wastewater samples were taken from two points, namely the inlet and the outlet of the WWTP. Based on the results of the laboratory analysis of the wastewater samples from Hospital X, it can be concluded that the average COD value at the inlet of the WWTP was 64.04 mg/L, while the average COD value at the outlet of the WWTP was 47.90 mg/L, and the average BOD value at the inlet was 12.69 mg/L, while the average BOD value at the outlet was 1.60 mg/L. All of these values are qualified according to the Hospital Activity Liquid Wastewater Quality Standards based on Central Java Province Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2012. It is expected that Hospital X will continue to maintain the wastewater treatment plant.

Abstract

The decline in groundwater quality, particularly in terms of TDS and Fe²⁺ levels, is a major concern in clean water supply. This study aims to synthesize and evaluate the effectiveness of FeCl₃ coagulant synthesized from scrap iron waste from a lathe workshop in reducing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Fe²⁺ levels in borehole water. FeCl₃ was synthesized by reacting scrap iron waste with a 32% HCl solution. Water samples were tested for TDS and Fe²⁺ levels before and after treatment using gravimetric and UV-Vis spectrophotometric methods. The FeCl₃ coagulant doses used were 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%. The results showed that the 0.3% dose provided the highest effectiveness in reducing Fe²⁺ levels by 80.10%, while the reduction in TDS reached 36.05% at the same dose. All doses successfully reduced Fe²⁺ levels to below the threshold set by Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023 (<0.2 mg/l). This study demonstrates that FeCl₃ coagulant derived from iron waste is effective and has the potential to serve as an economical and environmentally friendly alternative for water treatment.
