aims: chromium is one of the most important metallic pollutants in plating industry wastewater. this toxic metal is a serious threat to human health and to the environment due to its cumulative effects and non-degradability. this research intended to study the effects of ph, contact time, and voltage on the degree of chromium removal from wastewater of plating industry by using the electrocoagu...

A flow column has been innovatively used in the design of a new electrocoagulation reactor (ECR1) that will reduce the temperature of water being treated; where the flow columns work as a radiator for the water being treated. In order to investigate the performance of ECR1 and compare it to that of traditional reactors; 600 mL water samples with an initial temperature of 35C were pumped continu...

Chemical coagulation is commonly used in raw water and wastewater treatment plants for the destabilisation of pollutants so that they can be removed in the subsequent separation processes. The most commonly used coagulation chemicals are aluminium and iron metal salts. Electrocoagulation technology has also been proposed for the treatment of raw waters and wastewaters. With this technology, met...

This paper discusses the ability to remove chromium and COD from a real chrome tanning wastewater by use of Electrocoagulation (EC) coupled with adsorption using Powdered Marble (PM) added batch stirred EC cell pair duralumin electrodes. The effects current density, adsorbent dose contact time were studied. In comparison conventional process, coupling electrocoagulation powdered marble showed t...

In this paper the effect of ultrasound and electrocoagulation on removal manganese from synthetic wastewater was investigated. It shown that 20 kHz alone is not very efficient for removal, but it enhances efficiency electrocoagulation. also settling has a great process because stabilizes flocs. A total four laboratory-scale experiments were conducted, optimal experiment included 10 minutes with...

• A review of electrocoagulation for a range pollutants. Electrode processes depend upon the electrode material. pollutant removal mechanisms can occur. Emerging challenges are system design and modeling. Electrocoagulation (EC) electrocoagulation-flotation (ECF) widespread interest owing to their effectiveness simultaneous abatement broad pollutants in drinking waste waters, but capability var...
