Electrocoagulation of Waste Water and Treatment of Rice Mill Waste Water: A Review

Mukesh Thite, Parmesh Kumar Chaudhari

Abstract: Electrocoagulation is a process used for removal of waste from water. With growing concern about the impact of human activities are having on environment different processes are being developed for treatment of different types of wastes. Generally iron and aluminum are used as electrodes for electrocoagulation but different workers have used other electrodes as well. The shape and number of electrodes along with the spacing affects the process. The process is fast and generally removes all the waste material which can be coagulated under the influence of electric current. Effluents from vast range of industries using organic and inorganic processes can be treated using this simple but efficient process.

Keywords: Electrocoagulation, wastewater, electrodes, environment, COD
