This work aims to study the ability of using single and sequential electro-Fenton (EF) electrocoagulation (EC) processes in order treat tannery wastewater. The first method was run with an air diffusion cathode for H2O2 generation boron–doped diamond (BDD) as anode. second conducted mild steel electrodes. applied processes' performance monitored by removals chemical oxygen demand (COD) along to...

Synthetic oily wastewaters were prepared from metal working fluids (MWF). Electrocoagulation experiments were performed under constant voltage application. The current, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration and temperature were recorded on line at every 5 seconds during the experiments. Effects of applied voltage differences, electrode materials and distance between electrodes on rem...

Coagulation and flocculation are traditional methods for the treatment of polluted water. Electrocoagulation presents a robust novel and innovative alternative in which a sacrificial metal anode doses water electrochemically. This has the major advantage of providing active cations required for coagulation, without increasing the salinity of the water. Electrocoagulation is a complex process wi...

In this work, the performance of electrocoagulation with aluminum electrodes for simultaneous removal of nickel, copper, zinc and chromium from synthetic aqueous aliquot solutions and actual electroplating wastewater was studied. Parameters affecting the electrocoagulation process, such as initial pH, current density, initial metal ion concentration, COD and contact time were investigated. Best...

In this study, it is aimed to treat the wastewater from drilling operations during creation of a natural gas storage area by electrocoagulation (EC) method. Boron and sulfate parameters in were tried be eliminated with help aluminum electrodes. During removal boron pollutants, optimization studies carried out on process time, pH, current criteria. (B) (SO4) concentrations generated measured as ...

Water organic pollution has become a major issue. A large number of people suffer from the decline in water quality. In addition, polluted can lead to health problems or excessive deaths. this regard, an increasingly important method for efficient treatment is electrocoagulation (EC), technology that encompasses small equipment size combined with simple operation compared other methods. The imp...

Electrocoagulation was used for dechlorophyllation of alcoholic extracts from five plants. The results showed that for every plant extract studied, electrocoagulation was more efficient than the classical solvent extraction method in removing plant pigments, while not affecting the important secondary metabolites in those extracts.

As well known, eutrophication is one of the main problems encountered in surface water. This phenomenon is caused by the excess phosphate level in the effluent of wastewater treatment plant. Thus, to control of eutrophication, removal of phosphorus is required. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of electrocoagulation (EC) process to phosphorus removal from the synthetic waste...

Background: Conventional chemical coagulation is considered as the old method to color and COD removal in textile effluent. Electrocoagulation (EC) process is a robust method to achieve maximum removal. Methods: This work was designed to compare the result of operational parameters including optimum pH and coagulant concentration for chemical coagulation with ferric chloride and alum. Also, th...
