The treatment of tannery effluent is of great interest as it contains a complexmixture ofpollutants, primarily chromium. The disposal of this wastewater can have adverse effects on the environment and aquatic life, which ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential use of electrocoagulation in the treatment of carbide slurry, a wastewater generated during the production of acetylene, and in the capture of carbon dioxide. An electrochemical ...

The removal of total phosphorous (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from a secondary treated wastewater (STW) using a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration was evaluated. Three different electrode modules were ...

In this study, a new electrocoagulation electrode configuration has been investigated in order to induce dielectrophoretic (DEP) force for the enhanced harvesting of marine microalgae (Tetraselmis sp.). Asymmetrical aluminum ...

Solvay process is an efficient treatment technique for reject brine from desalination, where salinity is reduced by removing Na+ by adding NH3 . However, in this process large amounts of NH3 are consumed and Cl– ...

Oil and gas exploration produce large volumes highly contaminated produced water (PW) which exhibits a major environmental challenge. This work investigates the application of a novel hybrid system by combining electro-coagulation ...

Electrocoagulation is an effective electrochemical approach for the treatment of different types of contaminated water and has received considerable attention in recent years due its high efficiency in dealing with numerous ...

A three-step pilot plant was designed, fabricated and tested for the treatment of highly contaminated petroleum refinery wastewater. The three-step process consisted of an electrocoagulation (EC) unit, a biological treatment ...
