. Cyanide is a toxic compound that is found in industrial wastewater, and it causes death
for humans. Therefore, cyanide removal is essential to protect humans and the environment. The
electrocoagulation method (ECM) was adopted in this study to remove cyanide from artificial
wastewater samples. The ECM was adopted in this study because it is a cost-effective method
with minimum use of chemicals, making it eco-friendly. The experiments were done in batch
flow using iron electrodes (anode-cathode). The results show an increase in the current density
from 2 to 10 mA.cm-2
increased the removal of cyanide by 48.8%. Similarly, the increase of the
treatment time from 10 to 90 minutes increased the removal of cyanide by 71% at a current of
10 mA/cm-2
. The summary of the results of this study showed that ECM is a good alternative for
cyanide removal from wastewater.
