A systematic diagnosis of state of the art in the use of electrocoagulation as a sustainable technology for pollutant treatment: An updated review

Milad Mousazadeh et al.

Summary: Electrocoagulation (EC) and electrocoagulation-flotation (ECF) technologies are effective in removing a broad range of pollutants in water, with performance influenced by key parameters such as current density, electrode type, and electrolysis time. Recent studies have shown that pollutant removal mechanisms in EC/ECF processes depend on the nature of the pollutant. Further research on innovative cell designs and modeling of EC reactors, along with hybrid technologies for cost-effective energy supply, may lead to new treatment options for wastewater.

Coupling of electrocoagulation and microflotation for the removal of textile dyes from aqueous solutions

Nada N. Abdulrazzaq et al.

Summary: The study found that introducing microbubbles into the electrocoagulation unit significantly enhanced the dye removal efficiency compared to a no-bubbles system. The combination of electrocoagulation with microflotation could be an effective and economic method for reducing the concentration of dissolved pollutants in water like dyes.

Electrocoagulation as an affordable technology for decontamination of drinking water containing fluoride: A critical review

Locksley F. Castaneda et al.

Summary: This review examines the removal of fluoride from natural groundwater using electrocoagulation, with aluminum and aluminum alloys proving to be the most effective materials for fluoride removal. Iron, on the other hand, does not meet WHO guidelines for fluoride removal. The use of parallel plate continuous EC reactors allows for flow rate control and uniform electrode wear, with relatively low operating costs.
