Abstract

The removal of COD and BOD from dairy wastewater was experimentally investigated using direct current (DC) electrocoagulation (EC). In the EC of dairy wastewater, the effects of initial pH, electrolysis time, initial concentration of COD and BOD, and Voltage were examined. The COD and BOD in the aqueous phase were effectively removed when aluminum plates were used as sacrificial electrodes. The optimum operating range for each operating variable was experimentally determined. The batch experimental results revealed that COD in aqueous phase was effectively removed. The overall COD and BOD removal efficiencies reached 94% and 83% respectively. The optimum Voltage, pH and electrolysis time were 25V, 7, 75 min, respectively.
