Effect of High Current Density in Electrocoagulation Process for Sewage Treatment

Treatment of sewage wastewater by electrocoagulation with high cell current densities (605 A/m2, 908 A/m2, 1211 A/m2, 1513 A/m2 and 1816 A/m2) using stainless steel, iron and aluminum electrodes were studied. High current densities applied were very effective for the removal of chemical oxygen deman...
