Electrocoagulation of chromium containing synthetic wastewater using monopolar iron electrodes


Abstract in English

In this work, the performance of batch electrocoagulation (EC) treatment using iron electrodes with monopolar configuration for trivalent chromium (Cr3+) removal from a synthetic wastewater was investigated. The influences of current density (from 2 to 25 mA/cm2) and initial metal concentration (from 50 to 250 mg/L) on the removal efficiency were explored in a batch stirred cell to determine the best experimental conditions.
