History of Development
In 1889, England first applied electro- chemistry technology to water treatment. S Several electrochemistry technologies are gradually l l h i h l i d ll developed and used in wastewater treatments: Electro-oxidation Electro oxidation Electro-sedimentation Electro-coagulation Electro-flotation

Advantages of Electrochemistry
Multiple applications Electrochemistry utilizes mainly direct or indirect oxidation-reduction reactions to effect solution concentration, dilution, or sterilization. It is capable of treating pollutants existing in gas, liquid or solids. E Energy efficiency ffi i At the same treatment effectiveness, electrochemical processes can be carried out at low temperatures. For instance, incineration. It mainly through uneven current distribution, voltage differential, and certain auxilliary reactions to reduce energy consumption to a minimum.

Advantages of Electrochemistry
Self-induced reactions
In electrochemical processes, there are self-induced p variation system, such as potential at the electrodes, currents in the cell etc.
C f Cost factor
In general, the design, construction, and periphery equipment of an electrochemical reactor are quite easy and not costly.

Electro-coagulation (EC)
Utilize the anode electro-erosion and cathode electrolysis reactions. Uses cast i iron and aluminum as anode materials d l i d i l
Through electro-erosion, metal ions (Fe2+Al3+ produce metal hydroxides with the hydroxide ions formed on the cathodes. Metal hydroxides serve as coagulants to aggregate dissolved and colloidal organic/inorganic matters. matters Finally, the hydrogen gas bubbles released from cathodes float the flocs and remove pollutants.

Electro-coagulation (EC)
The oxidative potentials of the Fe2+ or Al3+ ions released from anode are different, with the former lower than the latter, hence in reactors fitted with latter aluminum electrodes, the required voltage is higher than those of cast iron electrodes. g Oxidation-reduction reaction formulas are: E0 = 0.44V Fe Fe2+ + 2eAl Al3+ + 3eE0 = 1.66V

Coupling of impurities
Under suitable field strengths, impurities in wastewater strengths will be affected to have internal charge realigned, which facilitate the subsequent flocculation to take place. place

Reaction Tank
The reaction tank is the heart of the system. Main reactions take place here. The inside fits with several sets of parallel cast iron/aluminum electrode plates, and secure with insulating shield to prevent shortcircuit through plate contact. Effluent is fed from bottom and overflows from the top at completion of treatment In the reaction tank, simultaneous oxidation, reduction, coagulation, and clarification proceed. The system is amenable to treat multiple effluent sources. A air jet is installed at the bottom of the tank to promote coagulation, flotation, and reducing formation of passivistic layer. Reaction tanks are dual equipped. During the CIP process, effluent is directed to the other tank so that treatment will not be interrupted.

Mine operators use EC system to remove suspended dirt, soil and coal particles in tailing. Untreated tailing water cant be used to cool coal mining facilities, and tailing cant be discharged to natural water bodies due to heavy fines imposed l b di d h fi i d by EPA.

Chemical Industry
There are many different streams of wastewater from chemical industry based on different product spectra. h i l i d t b d diff t d t t Traditional chemical or biological treatment either have to add different chemicals for different effluents, or very large ponds are required to achieve treatment efficiency. Also, the COD values are often unstable. According to the actual tests conducted at Maobao, Maobao Taiwan Jiehwa, and Fuying plants, the COD removal was ca. 80 to 90%; and the results were consistent, not varying according to the product spectra. i di t th d t t

Household Wastewater
In most cases, after the EC treatment, the water quality will show marked improvements, allowing safe discharge into natural bodies of water. In addition, the EC system is both economical with regard to time and space req irements and the requirements, initial installation cost is often far cheaper than the traditional treatment systems. The savings on land systems and personnel represent additional boons.
