Treatment of metal plating wastewater by electrocoagulation

Abstract: In this study, the performance of electrocoagulation process in the treatment of metal plating wastewater was investigated using different combinations of aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) electrodes. The effect of applied current, metal concentration, and treatment time on the metal removal efficiency was investigated. The results show that electrocoagulation can effectively reduce metal ions to a very low level. The Fe‐Fe and Fe‐Al electrode combinations were more effective for the removal of Cu, Cr, and Ni from m… Show more

“…EC consists of an in‐situ generation of coagulants by an electrical dissolution of Fe or Al electrodes. The generation of metallic cations takes place at the anode, whereas at the cathode, typically a H 2 production occurs together with OH ‐ release . Ferric or aluminum ions generated by electrochemical oxidation of Fe/Al electrode may form monomeric species and polymeric hydroxyl metallic complexes depending on the pH of the aqueous medium, which have strong affinity for dispersed particles as well as counter ions to cause coagulation .…”

“…Only the organic ligand is destructed, while the heavy metal ions are released in the treated solution. The effluent after electrooxidation contains 6 mg/L Cu 2+ ions and for their removal it needs further treatment, such as ion exchange, chemical precipitation [25], membrane assisted electrodeionization [26], membrane-less electrostatic shielding based electrodialysis/electrodeionization [27], or electrocoagulation [20,28,29].…”
