Optimization of electrocoagulation process parameters for enhancing phosphate removal in a biofilm-electrocoagulation system

Electrocoagulation Process for Treatment of Detergent and Phosphate

Background & Aims of the Study: Detergent and phosphate are one of the main and vital threats (eutrophication phenomenon and production of synthetic foam) for the source of drinking water, agriculture and industrial uses in the Ahvaz, Iran that threaten human health. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the efficiency of the electrocoagulation...

Electrocoagulation: Cod Removal Mechanism

Electrocoagulation (EC) is electrochemical water and wastewater treatment technology which in its simplest form uses an electrochemical cell where a dc voltage is applied to the electrodes, usually made of Iron or Aluminum, and the electrolyte is the water or wastewater. Current theory of EC has not been able to explain all the phenomena associated with the process, among others the differences...

Electrocoagulation (EC) technology for nitrate removal

Optimization of organic compounds removal from Wastewater by Electrocoagulation

Introduction: As the most hazardous sewage, hospital wastewater contains various contaminants, and its uncontrolled discharge can seriously damage the environment. Bandar Abbas is located in an arid and semi-arid region therefore, hospital wastewater should be treated through an appropriate and economic method. This study aimed to determine the efficiency of electrocoagulation with aluminum and...

Application of Electrocoagulation Process for the Removal of Acid Orange 5 in Synthetic Wastewater

IIn this study, the Electro Coagulation (EC) was used for the removal of acid orange 5 from synthetic wastewater in a batch electrochemical reactor. The impact of the operational variables such as current density, initial pH, time of electrolysis, and initial concentration of the dye was investigated. The results showed that the optimum conditions were obtained at initial pH of 7, curre...
