Feasibility Study of Electro-Coagulation as a Treatment Method for Textile Industry Wastewater

Electro-coagulation (EC) is becoming a popular process to be used for industrial wastewater treatment. In the present study, a laboratory scale electro-coagulation (EC) process was utilized to treat the textile wastewater in order to bring the quality up to the wastewater reuse standards and also to compare the electro-coagulation process with the conventional coagulation treatment. Effect of various operating parameters such as operating time and voltage on COD removal efficiency was evaluated to achieve the maximum possible treatment efficiency
