Abstract:Electrocoagulation is a water treatment technology capable to remove a variety of organic pollutants from water. It is advantageous compared to chemical coagulation due to the controlled dissolution of coagulants by regulating the current density and pH. In this work, the removal of kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) (polyvinyl pyrrolidone, PVP) from water by electrocoagulation using Al electrodes was investigated. The effects of several experimental conditions including the nature of the supporting electrolyte, … Show more
