Boron compounds are used in many manufacturing products and may be introduced into the environment in the form of hazardous materials. Here the feasibility of removal of boron from aqueous solutions by electrocoagulation was investigated. The process was examined under various factors in order to assess optimal operating conditions. The results showed that electrocoagulation for boron removal depends on current density, initial concentration and time. Under a current density of 30 mA/cm 2 the percentage of boron removal from aqueous solutions is in the range of 92-96%.
The process of agro-industrial sewage treatment with the aim of extracting grease from the waters is studied by means of electroflotocoagulation. A method of optimising the construction of electroflotocoagulation apparatus for sewage treatment is offered that allows passing from a laboratorial model to an industrial specimen that possesses the same level of technological characteristics. Multiple examples are given of applying electroflotocoagulation technology for sewage treatment from proteins and grease under different conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
