TIAANO’s WASTE WATER TREATMENT BY USING

ELECTRO COAGULATION/OXIDATION

Tiaano’s Electrocoagulation Reactor (ECR) having electrodes, that are arranged in pairs of two anodes and cathodes. Using the principle of  electrochemistry, the cathode is  oxidized (loses electrons), while the water is reduced (gains electrons), thereby making the wastewater better treated. When the cathode electrode makes contact with the wastewater, the metal is emitted into the apparatus.

When this happens, the particulates are neutralized by the formation of hydroxide complexes for the purpose of forming agglomerates. These agglomerates begin to form at the bottom of the tank and can be  siphen  out  through  filtration.  However, when  one  considers  an electro coagulation-flotation apparatus, the particulates would instead  float to the top of the tank by means of  formed hydrogen bubbles that  are created from  the anode. The floated particulates can  be skimmed from the  top of the tank. 

To  consider how  effective  the  ECF  reactor  can  be,  one must  consider  the following  inputs  or variableswastewater  type, pH,  current  density,  type of  metal  electrodes (aluminum,  steel,  iron), number of electrodes, size of electrodes, and configuration of metals. These variables would affect the overall treatment time, kinetics, and also the removal efficiency measured.
