The discharge of large volumes of oily wastewaters without sufficient treatment poses a huge risk on the environment. The main objective of this study was to investigate the capability of electro-coagulation/flotation (ECF) process for the removal of oil from industrial oily wastewater via different electrodes’ configuration. These included anode-cathode-anode-cathode (ACAC), anode-cathode-cathode-anode (ACCA), and cathode-anode-anode-cathode (CAAC)… Continue reading Impact of electrodes’ configuration in an electrokinetic cell for oil-water separation
The present paper reveals results of research for cost-effective removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) contained in industrial paper mill effluent. Not only process efficiency but also wastewater treatment costs are discussed. Different pre-treatment processes are applied aiming to investigate the COD removal before discharge to the municipal sewage network. The objective of this paper… Continue reading Cost-effective removal of COD in the pre-treatment of wastewater from the paper industry
Different pre-treatment processes were applied to investigate the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from paper mill effluent. The objective of this paper is to find the optimal operating conditions for coagulation process. The effect of key operational parameters, including the type of coagulant, initial pH, temperature, and coagulant dose, on the percent removal of… Continue reading Cost-effective removal of cod in the pre-treatment of wastewater from paper industry
