Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dye wastewater was treated by using an electrochemical oxidation process. Various combinations of electrodes such as carbon, Al and Fe were investigated. In this study, electrode material, electrolyte concentration, electrode distance, current density, and pH value were found to have significant effect on both pollutant removal efficiency and current efficiency in electrochemical oxidation process. After electrolysis for 40min with carbon/Al, it was observed that COD, and color of treated wastwater were reduced from 580mg/ to 145mg/, 67.2mg/ to 26.8mg/, 46.8mg/ to 1.4mg/, and 4200 Pt-Co units to 336 Pt-Co units, respectively. The optimal conditions of the electrooxidation process to treat the wastewater for this study were found to be such : current density ; 16.67mA/, electrode distance ; 2.5cm, pH value ; 5.0 and carbon/Al electrode.
