PEMANFAATAN OZON DENGAN METODE DIELECTRIC BARRIER DISCHARGE (DBD) UNTUK PENGOLAHAN LIMBAH TEKSTIL: STUDI KONFIGURASI ELEKTRODA BATANG – SPIRAL
The textile industry is one of the sectors that generates large volumes of liquid waste containing complex organic compounds, synthetic dyes, and various chemicals that are difficult to degrade, thus posing a significant threat to aquatic environments. In this study, ozone was generated using the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) method with a rod–spiral electrode configuration to enhance ozone production efficiency. The research was conducted at the High Voltage Engineering and Electrical Measurement Laboratory (TTTPL), Faculty of Engineering, Sriwijaya University, using voltage variations from 1 to 6,9 kV and ozone exposure times ranging from 1 to 4 hours. The tests were carried out on textile wastewater samples that had been diluted with distilled water at several concentration ratios.The results show that the rod–spiral electrode configuration with a 2 mm discharge gap was capable of producing the highest ozone concentration of 2507.06 ppmv at an applied voltage of 6.9 kV. Ozone exposure to the textile wastewater caused an increase in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Electrical Conductivity (EC), along with a decrease in pH value. The increase in TDS and EC indicates a higher presence of dissolved ions resulting from the oxidation of organic compounds by ozone, while the decline in pH reflects the formation of acidic species produced during the oxidation process.Overall, this study demonstrates that an ozonation system based on the DBD method with a rod–spiral electrode configuration can serve as an effective and sustainable solution for textile wastewater treatment, thereby supporting the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies in the industrial sector
