Abstract |
|
The sugar industry generated strong waste water characterized by high COD and Turbidity. Furthermore, the sugar industry is one of the largest sources of industrial effluents. Hence, the cost effective treatment of sugar effluent for environmental protection is a challenging task. The removal of pollutants from sugar industries waste water is experimentally investigated using direct current electro-coagulation (EC). In this study, the effect of pH, electrolysis time (ET), applied voltages were examined. The COD and Turbidity in the aqueous phase is effectively remove when aluminums electrodes use. It is the observed that the removal efficiency is directly proportional to the electrode material contact time, voltage and inversely proportional to electrode gaps. In this paper we observed the highest removal of efficiency. The removal of COD and turbidity was 96% and 94%. Those electro-coagulation (EC) technology with aluminum electrode in bipolar parallel system could be an attractive alternative for the treatment of sugar effluents. |
