Abstract
Tropical peat water is a scarce resource in rural areas of Sarawak and is considered a fundamental pillar in water processing. In the rural areas of Sarawak, particularly in the coastal region where municipal water supply is not available, the villagers are normally resorted to utilizing rainwater and peat water as their source of life. However, the usage of untreated peat water for domestic usage may cause harm to human and well-being as it contains natural organic matters such as humic acid which is not suitable to be treated through the conventional treatment system. Electrocoagulation is an effective peat water treatment process as reported in several studies. It has been successful in dealing with humic substance removal in terms of turbidity, colour, and chemical oxygen demand removal. This paper offers a review of recent literature review that is dedicated to utilizing electrocoagulation in peat water treatment, as well as potential usage of advanced electrochemical processes. The paper investigates such aspects as electrocoagulation theory and pollutants removal efficiency. This review seeks to highlight the main achievement in treating peat water for domestic usage in Sarawak for promising research options that can broaden the technology towards the state government policies.
