Treatment of Textile Dyeing Wastewater by Electrocoagulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Industrial wastewater discharged into environments has been a serious and crucial problem, especially the wastewater from textile industry. It is one of the most harmful wastewaters due to their dark color, high COD and biotoxicity. Electrocoagulation is a technically easy, convenient and quick process that uses an electric field to neutralize the surface charges of contaminants in wastewater leading to coagulation and sedimentation. In this work, electrocoagulation (EC) process employed in the removal of dyes from real Batik wastewater was optimized. The optimum process conditions (∼60% color removal) for laboratory-scale were found to be: anode/cathode = Fe/Al, treatment time = 10 minutes, and electrode gap = 2cm with 30 kWh.m-3 of energy consumption.
