Electrocoagulation (EC) - science and applications

Although electrocoagulation is an evolving technology that is being effectively applied today for wastewater treatment, the paucity of scientific understanding of the complex chemical and physical processes involved is limiting future design and hindering progress. The objective of this review through a survey of the Literature is to bring the chemistry and physical processes involved into perspective and to focus attention on those areas critically needing research.
