Electrocoagulation treatment of raw palm oil mill effluent: Effect o foperating parameters on floc growth and structure

During electrocoagulation of palm oil mill effluent (POME), operating parameters as electrolysis time, current intensity, inter-electrode distance and initial pH have a profound influence on floc growth and structure. These characteristics can be determined by microscopical and particle size analysi...
