Sulphate Removal in Industrial Effluents Using Electrocoagulation Sludge as an Adsorbent

The high concentration of sulphates is detrimental to the infrastructure wastewater treatment plants. Hence in this study, we present application electrocoagulation sludge as an adsorbent remove from industrial effluents before they are released back environment. contains iron and aluminium cations cationic complexes that precipitate water. Corrugated sheet was used a sacrificial electrode during (EC) generate sludge. FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, Zeta Potential were characterize following parameters: contact time, pH, initial concentration, dosage optimized 120 min, 2, 100 mg/L 150 mg, respectively. For synthetic water, sulphate removal 99.1%, whereas for real water it found be 98.7%. adsorption capacity EC 66.76% 2 h under acidic conditions. Langmuir isotherm fitted better than Freundlich isotherm. This confirmed homogenous distribution active sites on At different EC’s sludge, pseudo-second order kinetic model produced best fitting experimental results which ions by chemisorption. approach (method) useful purifying discharged into
