Abstract:Biodiesel is commonly purified by washing with water, but its improper disposal poses serious environmental and economic issues. Electrocoagulation (EC) is an attractive technique for treating biodiesel fuel wastewater, owing to its effectiveness, ease of operation, and low cost operation. In this study, an experimental factorial design was employed to investigated the minimum parameters required for efficient and cost-effective treatment (pH: 3 – 9; voltage: 5 – 20 V). All experiments were conducted at room t… Show more
