The Effect of Electric Voltage Variation and Flow Rate on Decreasing Remazol Red Rb 133 Dye Levels in a Continuous Electrocoagulation Process
Abstract
The usage of synthetic dyes, such as Remazol Red RB 133, benefits the product by boosting its added value, but it also has a negative influence on the aquatic environment when waste water is disposed of directly. As a result, electrocoagulation technology is utilized to lower the levels of Remazol Red RB 133 dye, ensuring that it does not affect the environment. This study seeks to examine the influence of variations in electric voltage (10, 12, 14 volts) and flow rate (80, 100, and 120 mL/minute) on decreasing concentrations of the colorant RB-133 Remazol in the Continuous Electrocoagulation Process. A UV-Vis spectrophotometer will be used to see the dye concentration after the electrocoagulation process and will be analyzed using the adsorption kinetics model and the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models.
