The combination of the chemical coagulation-assisted electrocoagulation (CC-EC) process with a solar photovoltaic energy source has attracted increasing attention for efficient removal oxygen demand (COD) from pharmaceutical wastewater. In this paper, CC-EC been utilized as an alternative to conventional processes treatment effects various operating parameters, such coagulant dosage, type, numb...

Electrocoagulation (EC) has gained increasing attention as an effective and environmentally friendly technique for purifying water wastewater. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the recent literature on EC identifies new trends potentials further research. Initially, nature its operating parameters are discussed, while research analyzed using Scopus database VOSviewer software. Fr...

The effect of the molar ratio of hydroxide and fluoride ions to Al(III) ions (gamma(OH) and gamma(F)) on coagulation and electrocoagulation (EC) was studied to solve the problem of the over addition of acid or base. The efficiency of defluoridation was approximately 100% when the sum of gamma(OH) and gamma(F) (gamma(OH+F)) was close to 3. This finding reveals that the fluoride ions and the hydr...

Taguchi optimization method (L32 orthogonal array) was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for methylene blue dye removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation (EC). Various electrocoagualtion parameters such as initial pH, time of electrolysis, concentration of dye, electrodes gap, applied current, solution temperature, amount of supporting electrolyte, des...

Greywater (GW) treatment by the electrocoagulation (EC) technique alone might not meet required standards in terms of pollutant removal, specifically when GW contains high loads pollutants. In this preliminary study, a sand filtration (SF) unit was integrated with EC as pretreatment step to enhance process for treating high-loaded GW. Three different voltage gradients were investigated (5 V/cm,...

In the field of electrocoagulation (EC), various studies on pollutant removal and use different EC technologies have already been made. An process generates sludge, which is considered waste, resulting in increased operational costs that come from waste disposal. Sludge contains valuable materials, such as nutrients or metals removed during water purification, along with metals, aluminum iron, ...

Understanding the chemical kinetics of arsenic during electrocoagulation (EC) treatment is essential for a deeper understanding of arsenic removal using EC under a variety of operating conditions and solution compositions. We describe a highly constrained, simple chemical dynamic model of As(III) oxidation and As(III,V), Si, and P sorption for the EC system using model parameters extracted from...

The feasibility of a biological (EcoflushTM) and/or electrocoagulation (EC) treatment system in removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and fats, oils, grease (FOG) from poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (PSW) were studied. response surface methodology (RSM) was used to identify the optimum operating condition for EC its integration with EcoflushTM as pre-treatment removal lipids. conditions obta...

To preserve environmental and human health, improved treatment processes are needed to reduce nutrients, microbes, and emerging chemical contaminants from domestic wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. Electrocoagulation (EC) treatment is increasingly used to treat industrial wastewater; however, this technology has not yet been thoroughly assessed for its potential to reduce conc...

The defluoridation efficiency (epsilon(F)) of electrocoagulation (EC) is closely related to the pH level of the F(-)-containing solution. The pH level usually needs to be adjusted by adding acid in order to obtain the highest epsilon(F) for the F(-)-containing groundwater. The use of combined EC (CEC), which is the combination of chemical coagulation with EC, was proposed to remove fluoride fro...
