Limbah Rumah Sakit memiliki senyawa polutan yang tinggi, beracun, dan bahkan ada yang bersifat radioaktif. Limbah yang paling banyak terdapat di Rumah Sakit yaitu limbah dalam bentuk cair yang mengandung limbah obat – obatan seperti jenis antibiotik, beberapa mikroorganisme patogen, dan kandungan logam berat yang dapat mencemari lingkungan hidup, mengganggu kesehatan manusia dan makhluk hidup lain. Limbah Rumah Sakit Kota Yogyakarta mempunyai kadar COD yang tinggi yaitu 421,03 mg/L dengan pH sebesar 7,3. Advanced Oxidation Process (AOPs) telah banyak terbukti dapat menurunkan kadar COD limbah industri maupun domestik. Pada penelitian ini, AOPs yang dipilih adalah Elektro – Fenton. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh kondisi operasi yang maksimum pada metode Elektro - Fenton dan mengetahui pengaruh dari parameter yang digunakan untuk menurunkan kadar Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Penanganan uji COD dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengurangan kadar oksigen pada air limbah agar sesuai dengan standar baku mutu air limbah Rumah Sakit yang dapat dibuang ke lingkungan yaitu sebesar 80 ppm. Proses Elektro – Fenton dilakukan secara batch, dengan variasi rasio H2O2/COD yang digunakan terdiri dari 2,125; 10; dan 19, 16 (g/g). Sedangkan variasi tegangan sebesar 3 volt, 4 volt, dan 5 volt. Kondisi maksimum diperoleh pada rasio H2O2/COD 10 (g/g) dan tegangan 4 volt dengan waktu kontak 60 menit. Kata Kunci : air limbah rumah sakit, elektro – fenton, proses oksidasi lanjutan, kebutuhan oksigen kimiawi, hidrogen peroksida

<p>Neste trabalho avaliou-se a aplicação do processo oxidativo avançado (POA) de foto-peroxidação (UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) na degradação do azocorante têxtil comercial Azul Reativo 5G. Foram preparadas soluções sintéticas contendo o corante e tratadas através do respectivo POA, sendo a eficiência do tratamento avaliada através dos seguintes parâmetros: descoloração, redução da demanda química de oxigênio (DQO) e ecotoxicidade com sementes de Lactuca sativa. Após 30 minutos de tratamento em condições otimizadas na presença de peróxido de hidrogênio e radiação ultravioleta, foi observada descoloração na ordem de 91,8% sem redução significativa da DQO (1,8%), além de diminuição da ecotoxicidade da solução, indicando a viabilidade da aplicação do processo UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> para tratamento de resíduos líquidos contendo este azocorante.</p><p>ABSTRACT</p><p>In the present paper was evaluated the application of advanced oxidation process (AOP) photo-peroxidation (UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) applied to degradation of the commercial textile azo dye Reactive Blue 5G.

During the production of batik cual, thick-colored wastewater is produced. Unfortunately, the wastewater could damage the environment if it is disposed of without specific processing. The Fenton method is an advanced oxidation process (AOPs) that can degrade organic dyes found in liquid waste. In this research, the researchers studied the Fenton mechanism's application to the batik cual wastewater treatment. The Fenton's reagent used was H2O2 with FeSO4.7H2O. Some of the experimental wastewater treatment parameters were the values of biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), the degradation efficiency of difficult to decompose organic materials, and the color degradation efficiency in batik cual wastewater. The results show that the Fenton mechanism’s efficiency of removing color from batik cual wastewater is up to 97.8%, COD and BOD removal efficiencies are 76.3% and 75.2%, and the degradation efficiency of difficult to decompose organic matter is 76.8%. Also, the researchers found that the higher amounts of FeSO4.7H2O increase the removal parameters effectiveness. Therefore, the Fenton mechanism can effectively improve the quality of wastewater in batik cual production.
