Industrial development and extensive use of heavy metals have led to the problem of environmental pollution. Nickel compounds are toxic to plants and have detrimental effects on their growth. Valerian is a plant used in herbal medicine. Considering the hazards of nickel, various methods have been developed to remove this contaminant from herbs irrigation wastewater, including the common chemica...

This paper presents an experimental application of PID control to study the electrocoagulation process of textile wastewater. The addition of NaCl solution would also lead to the decrease in power consumption because of the increase in conductivity. Conductivity in electrocoagulation process is difficult to control because of the complex nonlinear behaviour involved. Conductivity changes during...

Electrocoagulation of a plant extract and certain substances representative of selected classes of plant pigments, viz. chlorophyll, a carotenoid, a phenolic substance and a tannin, was performed in ethanol containing varying amounts of water (15-75%). The results showed that the extent and efficiency of coagulation of these substances tends to vary in a manner directly related to the water con...

Waterborne viruses account for 30% to 40% of infectious diarrhea, and some could persevere months in nature move up 100 m groundwater. Using filtration setups, coagulation lessen virus charges as an efficient pre-treatment reducing viruses. This work discusses the present-day studies on mitigation using its three versions i.e., chemical (CC), enhanced coagulation, electrocoagulation (EC), debat...

the taguchi method was applied as an experimental design to determine optimum conditions for colour removal from azo dyes solutions containing remazol yellow g by electrocoagulation (ec) using iron and steel electrodes as anode and cathode, respectively. an orthogonal array (oa9) experimental design that allows to investigation the simultaneous variations of four parameters (initial remazol ye...

Papillomavirus DNA has been reported recently in the vapor (smoke plume) derived from warts treated with carbon dioxide laser; this raises concerns for operator safety. We therefore have studied a group of human and bovine warts to define further the potential risk of wart therapy and to test whether a surgical mask could reduce exposure. Half of each wart was treated with carbon dioxide laser ...

This paper examines the use of chemical or electrocoagulation treatment process followed by ion-exchange process of the textile dye effluent. The dye effluent was treated using polymeric coagulant (cationic dye-fixing agent) or electrocoagulation (iron and aluminum electrode) process under various conditions such as various current densities and effect of pH. Efficiencies of COD reduction, colo...

Electrochemically generated iron can remove most contaminants present in water and wast water, by precipitation, adsorption, electrostatic interaction, and complex formation (generally called electrocoagulation-EC). In the present paper, pretreatment of brackish water having high total hardness (TH), alkalinity (A),  and Cl¯ ions, is studied by application of a DC-electrical current ot the ...

One of the new methods used to remove contaminants from effluent is electrocoagulation method, which sometimes combined with other increase removal efficiency contaminants. To simultaneously nickel, cyanide, zinc, and copper, method photo-electrocoagulation was along an oxidizing agent, namely hydrogen peroxide (Hp). In addition, effects factors affecting were studied, including pH, electrode a...
