ELEKTROKOAGÜLASYON İLE SU ARITMA

Abstract

Electrochemistry is the science that study, the effect of the electricity on the phase of matter by producing chemical reactions, which causes this effect. Several applications and technologies such as; batteries, fuel cells, and industries, such as aluminum industry depend on theories of electrochemistry science. Integration of electrochemistry with other chemistry science such as; environmental chemistry, contributes highly in serving environment to be clean, and safe. One of electrochemistry applications in waste water treatment is the electrocoagulation; which considered as; one of the best water treatment methods. This technology depends on electrolysis of aluminum or steel anode, to produce ions, can be react with water ions, and producing new complex polymeric compounds that will flocculate the suspended particles, and deposit it in the bottom of electrocoagulation tank. Using this technology, takes avital role in cancelling the need of coagulation chemicals, and thickeners, beside that the level of electrical current that used is low. But some limits still exist; such as; the regular need to replace the anodic electrode, because it dissolves in water, electricity may be expensive in some places.
