This study investigated the effects of four operational and environmental variables on the removal of trace metal contaminants from drinking water by electrocoagulation (EC). Removal efficiencies for five metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead and nickel) were compared under varying combinations of electrode material, post-treatment, water composition and pH. Iron electrodes out-performed alu...

With the aim of developing a process for surface enlargement on an electrode for measuring brain activity attempts have been made to fabricate a porous anodic alumina membrane directly on the electrode. The porous membrane was intended to be used as scaffold for deposition of an electrically conducting polymer on the electrode surface. A silicon wafer with gold electrodes was the base onto whic...

Textile dyeing is considered to be one of the major industrial sources of high rates of organic and aromatic compounds. Conversely, these compounds have become a significant environmental problem. Many methods have been investigated for color removal from dye-containing wastewater. In this research, the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (EC) process with aluminum electrodes in the removal of...

Electrodeposited aluminum films and template-synthesized aluminum nanorods are examined as negative electrodes for lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-aluminum alloying reaction is observed electrochemically with cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling in lithium half-cells. The electrodeposition reaction is shown to have high faradaic efficiency, and electrodeposited aluminum films reach t...

This study investigated the performance of electrocoagulation using iron and aluminum electrodes for removing silica, calcium and magnesium from cooling tower blowdown and reverse osmosis reject waters. Experiments were conducted at both the bench and pilot scales to determine the levels of target species removal as a function of the coagulant dose. At the bench scale, aluminum removed the targ...

nowadays use of detergents and cleaners becomes one of the essential of human life's. since these materials enter to the sewage systems, due to the existing poly phosphate, reacts with water and gradually becomes into phosphate ions and cause too many environmental problems that always have considered environmentalists. this study examined three factors was investigated in the removal of p...
