Abstract:

The removal of Turbidity and Conductivity 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 Turbidity and Conductivity, and Voltage were examined. The Turbidity and Conductivity 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 turbidity in aqueous phase was effectively removed. The overall Turbidity and Conductivity removal efficiencies reached 94% and 93% respectively. The optimum Voltage, pH and electrolysis time were 25V, 7, 75 min, respectively.
