Degradation Of DPLMX River Water Via FeCl3 as Catalyst

Abstract

This research addresses the critical issue of water pollution in the DPLMX river caused by the waste generated during oleochemicals manufacturing in Telok Panglima Garang. The contamination adversely affects the local population's health due to the river's integration with the residential sewer system. The study aims to degrade the polluted water by employing ferric chloride (FeCl₃) as a catalyst for degradation, comparing its efficiency with various concentrations.
