Electrocoagulation-Electrooxidation For Mitigating Trace Organic Compounds In Model Source Waters, Donald R. Ryan
Electrocoagulation-Electrooxidation For Mitigating Trace Organic Compounds In Model Source Waters, Donald R. Ryan
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Conventional coagulation and oxidation are well suited for many drinking water operations to meet regulatory requirements for safe drinking water. However, these processes require auxiliary chemicals and materials that must be transported from off-site, which increases complexity of operations, and can pose difficulties for small treatment systems. Electrochemistry offers an innovative method to induce coagulation and oxidation processes for water treatment. Electrocoagulation (EC) together with electrooxidation (EO) is an attractive option for drinking water treatment systems because these processes generate iron coagulants using iron EC electrodes and oxidants (e.g., free chlorine and reactive oxygen species) using boron-doped diamond EO electrodes. …
