Nitrate removal from groundwater using electrolytic reduction method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nitrate (NO3) contamination of groundwater is a major concern throughout intensive agricultural areas. In the present laboratory scale study, an electrolytic reduction method employing copper cathode and insoluble triple mixed oxide anode was studied for the denitrification of groundwater in a divided cell. Influence of process parameters such as pH, current density and time were studied and the optimal conditions of operation were found to be at pH 8, at 0.89 mA/cm for 7 h. It is possible to remove nitrate below the limit of the drinking water standard using this method. The denitrification was found to follow pseudo first order kinetics with a k value of 0.23 h.

BACKGROUND Reductive precipitation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) with magnetite is a well-known Cr(VI) remediation method to improve water quality. The rapid (<a few hr) reduction of soluble Cr(VI) to insoluble Cr(III) species by Fe(II) in magnetite has been the primary focus of the Cr(VI) removal process in the past. However, the contribution of simultaneous Cr(VI) adsorption processes in ag...
