this study presents a comparison between aluminum and iron plate electrodes on phosphate removal from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process. the effectiveness of main operational parameters such as initial ph, initial phosphate concentration and current density were examined. in addition, treated solution and sludge characteristics, energy consumption and electrode mass depletion w...

Introduction: The samples from the Stardust space probe will offer the first opportunity for analyzing cometary matter collected under controlled conditions together with contemporary interstellar dust particles [1, 2]. Moreover, Stardust is the first sample return mission ever that provides material from a known solar system object other than the moon. The primary goal after sample arrival is ...

background this study demonstrates the removal efficiency of phenol from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation process using aluminum electrodes and also investigates solution chemistry and polymeric natural organic matters on removal efficiency objectives: the main aim of this work was to focus on the removal of phenol by electrocoagulation process using aluminum electrodes. materials and me...

In this paper, a new energy harvesting technology using stray electric field of an electric power line is presented. It is found that energy can be harvested and stored in the storage capacitor that is connected to a cylindrical aluminum foil wrapped around a commercial insulated 220 V power line. The average current flowing into 47 μF storage capacitor is about 4.53 μA with 60 cm long cylindri...

background: entry of untreated wastewater of wool scouring factories has been associated with many environmental hazards because of high rate of pollution. presently effective treatment methods and reducing the costs of operation and maintenance from treatment units have always been under the attention of this industry owners. the aim of this survey is to present a suitable method for the treat...
