Abstract
The study investigated wastewater treatment using electrochemical techniques on a pilot-scale plant. Electrocoagulation (EC), electroflotation (EF), and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) were examined. Parameters were varied to optimize EC reactor conditions for COD, suspended solids, micropollutants, and coagulant removal. Two electrodes were tested with outflows from primary and secondary sedimentation tanks. EC reactor efficacy was assessed for COD, suspended solids, and micropollutant removal at different current densities. The pH and SS aggregation increased with higher applied current. COD removal efficiency was 5657% and 12 18% for Fe and Al electrodes, respectively. Applied current was the most influential parameter, with Al electrodes producing more flocs and bubbles compared to Fe electrodes at similar current densities.
