Abstract

Experiments were carried out by treating the waste samples with electrocoagulation technology. This is done to determine the effectiveness of the removal of the electrocoagulation device against textile waste. The sample used is a synthetic sample with a concentration of 1091 mg/L Pt-Co units. The research was conducted twice with the first experiment being conducted to determine the most effective electrical voltage to remove the existing COD and color pollutants while the second experiment was conducted to determine the type of anode and cathode that was most effective in removing COD, Color, and heavy metal pollutants. In the first experiment, it was found that the electric voltage that could produce the best removal was 4 amperes and in the second experiment, the anode-cathode type with the highest % removal was Fe-Fe with % COD removal of 64.09639% and % color removal of 60.00619%. It was concluded that electrocoagulation method could effectively remove color and COD in waste water.
