Coagulation: An Electrochemical Process

998 Words4 Pages

1. Introduction Electrocoagulation is a electrochemical process in which floc of metallic hydroxides are generated within the effluent, which to be treated, by electrodissolution of anodes. Compared with flocculation process and chemical coagulation, electrocoagulation (EC) has no of advantages, such as removal of the smallest colloidal particles. Compare to conventional coagulation process, Less amount of sludge is generated during EC process. Excessively addition of coagulants can be avoided by using EC, due to the generation of the coagulants by electro oxidation of a sacrificial anode. EC has easy operation and simple equipment. The most common electrode materials used for EC are aluminum and iron. They are readily available, economical, very effective. When aluminum is used as electrode material, the reactions …show more content…

EC treatment of oil wastewater samples has been tested on a laboratory scale and good removal of COD, color, turbidity and dissolved solids at varying operating conditions were obtained. 2. Materials and methods: 2.1 Experimental equipment: An electrochemical reactor shown in figure, having 500 ml with a speed of agitation of 200 rpm with aluminum electrodes in series arrangement connected to a DC power supply ( 1.5 Amp & 6 Volt ) was used to carry out the experiments. The total 4 no of electrodes are used. The % removals of Chemical Oxidation Demand (COD) were calculated by changing different parameters: pH, electrode gap and operation time. 2.2Materials: Sample for experiment were collected from ABC Barings Ltd.

    For this lab, zeolite and magnetized zeolite were synthesized and compared with charcoal to find out with would be the most effective in the sequestering of Procion Red dye. Finding the concentration and absorbance of each zeolite, magnetized zeolite, and charcoal, along with a calibration curve, the best adsorbent is determined. Charcoal was the overall best sequestration of the Procion Red dye, since the adsorbent was highest compared to the others. Introduction Pollution has increased in the environment over the years, so the purpose of this experiment is to find the best adsorbent of chemicals to reduce the pollution.

  • Tap Water Electrolytes Experiment

    1013 Words  | 5 Pages

    Introduction: The aim of this experiment was to see whether water, Powerade or orange juice contained more electrolytes. Electrolytes are responsible for controlling the total amount of water in the body, regulating blood volume and maintaining muscle and nerve function. A lack of these electrolytes can cause headaches, fatigue, confusion, hallucinations and muscle spasms. I found that water and distilled water were less conductive than the orange juice and Powerade and orange juice proved to be the most conductive.

    The purpose of this report is determine if sodium chloride is a viable option as a deicer on winter roads. To determine this, one must compare a multitude of factors. In this lab, the freezing point depression of water, enthalpy of dissolution, cost, and environmental impact will be discussed. A large factor in how effective a substance is as a deicer is it’s ability to decrease the freezing point of water. If the freezing point of water can be lowered, the outside temperature must be much colder to reach this new freezing point, resulting in less ice on the roads.

    The goal of experiment four was to use sodium dichromate to oxidize borneol to camphor. To purify the camphor use sublimation, then reduce camphor to isomeric alcohol isoborneol with sodium borohydride. Use the 1H NMR to determine the ratio of borneol to isoborneol in the final product. The experiment was carried out by using sodium dichromate to oxidize a borneol solution that was made with borneol and ethyl acetate. Once the reaction was complete the mixture was transferred into a separatory funnel where the ether and aqueous layers were separated and the aqueous layer was then extracted with two portions of ether.

    The percent recovery of the copper was calculated using the equation, percent recovery = (the mass of the copper recovered after all the chemical reactions/the initial mass of the copper) x 100. The amount of copper that was recovered was 0.32 grams and the initial mass of the copper was 0.46 grams. Using the equation, (0.32 grams/0.46 grams) x 100 equaled 69.56%. The amount of copper recovered was slightly over two-thirds of the initial amount.

    By Jonas Wilson Types of Capillary Electrophoresis In the evolution of techniques used to separate molecules based on their electrophoretic mobility, capillary electrophoresis has been fine-tuned in order to obtain optimal results for varying experiments. For the purposes of this article, six main forms of capillary electrophoresis, branching from two main subsets, one of which is further subdivided into two subdivisions, will be discussed. Generally, the two main subsets of capillary electrophoresis are a continuous system capillary electrophoresis and a discontinuous system capillary electrophoresis.

    Pharmacokinetics of Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) of Tamoxifen was investigated following an oral dose of 20 mg tablet in eight healthy female volunteers. Plasma samples were collected at different time intervals following drug administration, and analyzed for Tamoxifen concentration by HPLC method. The mean ± SE (mean ± standard deviation) of Tamoxifen at 0.5 hour was calculated as 4.87 ± 0.82 ng/ml which shows drugs penetration in the blood immediately after oral dose. The minimum effective concentration of Tamoxifen is 30 ng/ml, that is 40ng/mL in another study (Santana et al., 2008). With the passage of time it reached at normal concentration at 2 hours 7.50 ± 0.13 ng/ml and then declined and at last became 26.1 ± 0.15 ng/ml at eight hours.

    Chemistry IA Background information: Introduction: Electrolysis it’s a chemical process that when you pass an electric current into a solution or a liquid that contains ions to separate substances back to their original form. The main components that are required for electrolysis to take a place are:  Electrolyte: it’s a substance that when dissolved in water it ionize and then it will contain free moving ions and without these moving ions the process of electrolysis won’t take place.  Direct current (DC): This current provides the energy needed to discharge the ions in the electrolyte  Electrodes: it’s an object that conducts electricity and it’s used in electrolysis as a bridge between the solution and power supply.
