Electrocoagulation of Navy Blue 3G Dye Wastewater: A Batch Study

Chirag Gohil, Dr. Abhipsa R Makwana

Abstract: Electrocoagulation treatment of simulated dye wastewater using aluminium electrode material has been studied in this paper. The effect of current density, electrolysis time and dye concentration has been investigated. Before these investigations effect on initial influent pH and NaCl dose on the EC process has also been investigated and further work was carried at optimized initial pH and NaCl dose. The results show that at highest studied current density, aluminium electrode showed complete removal of dye concentration after 90 min of treatment time.
