Application of continuous electrocoagulation process on large scale for treating textile wastewater

Dye-laden textile wastewater was treated using continuous electrocoagulation (CEC).The researchers examine the effects of several operating parameters on the effectiveness of eliminating contaminants in terms of color and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), such as current intensity and initial PH.Additionally, use real textile wastewater that complies with environmental regulations at the lowest possible cost and current intensity.estimating the running costs for treating a cubic metre of wastewater from textiles at various current intensities.The findings indicated that the ideal parameters for treating synthetic wastewater samples are initial pH of 7 and current intensity of 60 A. The clearance efficiencies of COD and dye under these circumstances were 86% and 91.25%, respectively.TSS and grease&oil removal for textile wastewater was found to be nearly 100 percent, with a total cost of 2.95 $ for treating one cubic meter using 60A.Removal efficiency of COD was 82.6% (final COD and PH were 23mg/l and 8.18, respectively).According to Egyptian law, these COD values mean that the wastewater should be discharged directly into water bodies.
