Abstract
Batik cual is one of the leading textile products in the Bangka Belitung Islands. In their production processes resulted dye pollutan in wastewater. Most batik cual industries use synthetic dyes such as remazol brilliant blue royal which can damage the environment if discharge without further treatment. Electrocoagulation is a method that can be used as a first step in processing batik cual wastewater. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between the number of aluminium electrodes used in the electrocoagulation process and the quality of the water produced and the energy used. Wastewater quality parameters observed included pH level, number of dissolved particles, conductivity level and turbidity. Through this comparison, it can be obtained information related to the key parameters of electrocoagulation to increase its efficiency. The optimum result obtained when using six electrodes in the electrocoagulation process.
