Electrical coagulation
What is electrical coagulation? Direct current is applied to electrical contacts that are dipped in an aqueous solution using the electrocoagulation (EC) method. The electro-oxidation of a sacrificial anode, which is often constructed of iron or aluminum, produces a flocculating agent. EC is an easy and effective method to remove this flocculating agent. What is the principle of electrocoagulation? Its fundamental idea is based on how water molecules respond in a redox reaction to a strong electric field. In the process of oxidizing the anode material, coagulating agents are released, forming metal hydroxide complexes that neutralize particulate materials and produce agglomerates. Where is electrocoagulation used? Electrocoagulation (EC) is a technique used for wastewater treatment, industrially processed water , and medical treatment . Wastewater treatment Anodes and cathodes, two pairs of metal sheets used in electrocoagulation,...
