Arsenic removal from groundwater using an aerated electrocoagulation reactor with 3D Al electrodes in the presence of anions

Mehmet KOBYA

Co-occurrence of arsenic and anions in groundwater causes a severe health problems and combine effects of these pollutants significantly affect performance of treatment process. Thus, this study has been conducted to examine the combine effects of anions on arsenic removal using aerated electrocoagulation (EC) reactor with 3D Al electrodes in groundwater. A 3-level, six factors Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD) was applied to investigate the individual and combine effect of anions and operating time: phosphate (x(1): 1-10 mg L-1), silica (x(2): 20-80 mg L-1), bicarbonate (x(3): 130-670 mg ...Более
