Abstract:The pretreatment of rubber additives processing wastewater was performed by Al/AC micro-electrolysis (ME). The single-factor experiments for the removal of COD and chroma were investigated. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was also applied to optimize the experimental conditions, and the fitted response surface model supplied highly significant quadratic models for the process. The COD removal efficiency reached 51.6% at an initial pH of 9.8, Al scrap dosage of 98.6 g L−1, Al/AC mass ratio of 0.26, and reaction ti… Show more
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.
