This study evaluated the energy and electrode consumption for AR18 removal in an electrocoagulation system using AC and DC. Results showed that using Fe electrodes and DC had a more significant removal efficiency and lower operating costs.
This study aims to evaluate energy and electrode consumption for Acid Red 18 (AR18) removal and the operating costs employing alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) in an electrocoagulation (EC) system. As the novelty of this study, the effects of AC/DC mode and electrode type were scrutinized through a series of designed experiments in a batch EC reactor to remove a globally used Azo dye from wastewater. In this regard, by designing the experiments with response surface methodology (RSM), four series of 30 experiments were separately conducted employing DC and AC for iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) electrodes. In each series, quadratic models were achieved for the removal efficiency and operating costs; by confirming the accuracy of the models, two responses were simultaneously optimized accordingly. As a result, the AR18 removal efficiency with Al electrodes had no significant difference using AC and DC (on average 0.2% difference); however, for Fe electrode, the EC performance in DC was more significant than AC (on average 13.8% difference). Also, the operating costs of Fe electrode were more economical in comparison with the Al; on average, the operating costs in the case of applying DC for Fe and Al were achieved 14.6 and 39.8 (US$/kg dye removed), respectively; whereas, for AC, this amount was calculated 9.3 and 36.0 (US$/kg dye removed) for Fe and Al, respectively.
