Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of electrochemical technologies in wastewater treatment. First part was focuses on the development, basic theory and application of electro-coagulation whereas the second part is consecrated to the development, and application of electro-flocculation and electro-flotation. The basic designs of electrochemical units are also presented. An appropriately constructed single unit can be used to successively coagulate, flocculate and float the pollutants. The coagulated and flocculated pollutants could be removed easily by sedimentation/filtration or by capturing them with the bubbles generated on the electrodes and then floating them to the water surface. In wastewater treatment plants these three processes must be operated synergistically to effectively remove the pollutants
