چکیده

this paper is a preliminary communication of a study on removal and recovery of heavy metalsfrom industrial waste waters using electro-coagulation (ec) technique. the larger study envisages use of solarenergy for producing the d.c. current, and simple chemical methods of standard methods in chemistry like useof hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulfide, collection of precipitate, incineration and getting metal oxides in themost economical way of metal recovery. however, this paper reports on the removal of arsenic (as) fromindustrial effluent using electro-coagulation (ec) technique. the optimization has been performed to increasethe removal efficiency of as by varying initial ph (2-10), time of electrolysis (5-30min) and current density(0.8-4.8 a/dm2). for the first time, we notice that the current density 4.8 a/dm2 has been observed to producethe quickest removal (99.9%) within 10min. the phenomenal cod reduction from 400mg/l to 30mg/l withelectrolysis time of 15min is a significant finding, to achieve this type of cod reduction by the existingmethods generate huge quantities of sludge. the sludge formed in the reaction vessel also have been investigated.

Color Removal from Simulated Textile Effluents Using Clean Electrocoagulation Technique

The present work was directed toward the successful ability of electerocoagulation to remove color from synthetic and simulated textile effluent by aluminum/iron electrodes. Two representative reactive dyes were selected for the synthetic dye system, a black dye alone and mixed dye (black, blue, red, 1:1:1 vol/vol). Several important operating parameters such as electrode material, initial pH(3...

Ibuprofen Removal from a Pharmaceutical Wastewater using Electro-Fenton Process: An Efficient Technique (RESEARCH NOTE)

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effective parameters such as pH, current density (mA/cm2), H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of H2O2 to pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) (ml/l) and reaction time (min) on the electro-Fenton process for the ibuprofen (as a pharmaceutical waste in water) removal. Since a synthetic wastewater with the same concentration of ibuprofen in a real pharmaceu...

Arsenic removal by coagulation

he current 50-μg/L maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic in drinking water was first set by the US Public Health Service in 1942 and was adopted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 1975.1 The standard was based primarily on toxic effects resulting from short-term or acute exposure to arsenic.2 Subsequent investigations have linked arsenic in drinking water with skin cance...
