Opis

Heavy metals pollution has become the most effective environmental problem in recent years as a result of releasing hazard materials into the environment. Various kinds of techniques are used for the treatment of these toxic materials such as electrocoagulation process. Electrocoagulation process is an attractive method for the treatment of wastewater because it is considered as a rapid and well-controlled process that requires fewer chemicals, provide good reduction and yields and produces less sludge. The aim of the present work is to investigate the efficiency of an innovated electrocoagulation reactor by using triple aluminium tubes electrodes in a concentric arrangement for lead removal from wastewater. The results show that the novel design of electrodes possesses a higher efficiency and cost-effective.
