Abstract

Galvanic cells are cells that produce an electric current, there are three components, namely the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The electrolyte can be an acid, salt, or amphoteric compound. Acid Mining Water (AAT) is runoff water produced in Mineral or Coal mining areas. The main composition of acid mine drainage is the content of metal sulfates, such as FeSO4, and H2SO4, has a low pH (2–3) and has a high conductivity value, so that this cone has the potential to become an electrolyte solution. The aims of this research are: (1) to find out how to use AAT as an electrolyte solution in Galvanic cells to produce electrical energy, and (2) to compare the amount of AAT as well as the type and number of electrodes and the electrical energy produced. The method used is an experimental method that uses AAT, as the object of research. From the results of the research, Acid Mine (AAT) water can be converted into an electrical energy resource by the electrochemical cell method, from the results of the research the type of electrode has an effect on the magnitude of the electric potential value and the resulting current, so from the results of the study obtained the best electrode in this study, namely Cu-C with a potential value of 2.4 V and a current strength of 1.8 mA, while the number of cells also affects the size of the current and electric potential, from the data it is found that the increase in volume also gives an increase in the value of the electric potential where for the Cu-C electrode the volume of 400mL gives a potential value of 3.0.
