Use of Electrocoagulation in Wastewater Treatment
Electrocoagulation, a technique utilizing alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) with varying voltages applied to electrodes in water, aids in extracting suspended or dissolved solids from wastewater. This process causes waste to coagulate or precipitate into large masses, making them easily removable.
Beyond its waste removal capabilities, electrocoagulation proves instrumental in recovering heavy metals and other valuable resources from wastewater. Moreover, it contributes to water conservation by reducing water usage and the amount of metal waste entering sewers. Consequently, electrocoagulation emerges as a cost-effective water recycling solution. Industries can harness this technology to minimize waste discharge from their facilities.
