Concept of Flocks Fragmentation and Averaging Method for the Application of Electrocoagulation in Process for Coke Oven Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

The main objective of the article is to develop the concept of flock fragmentation and the averaging method for the application of electrocoagulation in the process of treating wastewater from coke ovens. The designed solution was part of an innovative system for the coke oven wastewater treatment process. The system is dedicated to removing the hazardous elements and compounds from wastewater from leaching ashes in municipal waste incineration plants. The design of the process and its automatization was based on a quantitative simulation method. The balance equations of mass, energy, and momentum of transport, complemented by the kinetics of the related reaction, are used during the calculation of the process. The main result achieved is a practical solution—the reactor’s scheme, classified due to a patent procedure in the Polish Patent Office.

New Materials and Technologies for Wastewater Treatment

“…The last paper of this Special Issue relates to new developments for laundry wastewater treatment, and particularly the coupling of a moving bed bioreactor with photolysis oxidation and membrane cascade (MF + NF) [ 11 ]. The in-situ generation of O 3 using UV can be an attractive and performing system to improve the degradability of anionic and non-ionic surfactants.…”

“…This Special Issue (SI) contains the successful submissions [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ] of Materials on the subject area of “New Materials and Technologies for Wastewater Treatment”. The development of new materials that are able to enhance the efficiency of industrial wastewater treatment processes, as well as the modulation of these materials’ properties to improve the recovery of pollutants, has experienced steady progress.…”

Green Synthesis of the Effectively Environmentally Safe Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer for the Removal of Hazardous Industrial Wastes Using Two Different Methods

“…Many different water remediation technologies, such as chemical precipitation [18], electrocoagulation, ion exchange, membrane filtration, biological methods, sophisticated oxidation processes, and adsorption [19][20][21] have been tried up until now for the removal of heavy metals and dyes. Adsorption has been suggested because of the benefits of simple operation, affordability, and a wide variety of adsorbent materials being readily available [22,23]. Activated carbon (AC), clay minerals, chitosan, lignin, and geopolymer are some examples of adsorbents.…”

Silver Nanoparticles for Waste Water Management

“…The arrival of AgNPs in various environmental compartments as a result of thei release is shown in Figure 2 (production/application use, green colour; the environmenta compartments, brown colour; and technical compartments, blue colour). The term nano-remediation currently refers to the application of nanotechnology that contains the use of fabricated nanomaterials to clean contaminated phases such as air, soil and water, groundwater, and polluted/wastewater [22,23]. Well-established technology holds potential and efficacy, but full-scale applications have some drawbacks to overcome.…”

“…Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have many strange features such as size, shape, energy surface, and chemical core, showing sustainability that affects their end properties, and seawater reflects their released complex properties [11]. The term nano-remediation currently refers to the application of nanotechnology th contains the use of fabricated nanomaterials to clean contaminated phases such as air, so and water, groundwater, and polluted/wastewater [22,23]. Well-established technolog holds potential and efficacy, but full-scale applications have some drawbacks overcome.…”
