This Study Investigates The Applicability Of Electroremediation Processes For Heavy Metals Removal Using Mild Steel (Ms) And Aluminum (Al) Electrodes In A Batch Set-Up Studies Were Conducted With Synthetic Effluents To Identify The Effects Of (I) Effluent Properties, And (Ii) Process Parameters. These Parameters Are: Agitation, Operating Time (<60 Min.), Initial Concentration (1000 To 3000 Mg/L), Electrode Arrangements (Bipolar / Monopolar / Double Electrode), Current Density (<48.78 Ma/Cm2, With Different Cell Current And Submerged Electrode Area), Ph (3.4 To 5), Concentration Of Supportive Electrolyte (0 To 3000 Mg/L Nacl), Post Treatment Contact Time (<60 Min) And Sludge Generation. Almost Complete Removal (~100%) Of Cr(Iii) Is Possible Depending On The Operating Parameters With Both Electrodes. Encouraging Results Obtained In Case Of Simulated Cr(Iii) Effluent Treatment Prompted Exploring The Performance With Industrial Cr(Iii) Containing Effluent (Chrome Tanning Effluent). Effects Of Different Operating Parameters On Chromium, Cod And Bod5 Removal And Sludge Generation Etc Have Been Investigated Without Changing The Solution Chemistry. Results Were Compared With Conventional Chemical Precipitation And Coagulation With Simultaneous Ph Adjustment. Electrotreatment Of Effluent From Various Industrial Processes Containing Cr(Iii) And Mainly Cr(Vi) Was Then Explored. This Part Of The Work Comprises Of Three Sub Parts. In The First Two Parts, Simulated Cr(Vi) Containing Aqueous Effluent Is Electrochemically Treated. Stoichiometry Of Cr(Vi) Reduction Using Ms Electrodes Was Experimentally Determined At Lower Ph (2 To 3.1) Range, Where Oxidation Of Fe(Ii) By Dissolved Oxygen And Its Precipitation Can Be Neglected. The Effect Of Different Anions (Cl-, No3-, So42- And Po43-) On Cr(Vi) Reduction Has Been Studied. Po43- Is Found To Significantly Inhibit Cr(Vi) Reduction. Concentration Of Cr(Vi) Can Be Decreased To Its Discharge Limit In A Single Electrotreatment Process Step Without Any Precipitating Agent. Al Electrodes Seem To Be Less Attractive For Removal Of Cr(Vi) From Wastewater As Maximum Around 42% Cr(Vi) Removal Was Noted. These Results Were Also Compared With Chemical Coagulation. In The Third Part, Industrial Chrome Plating Effluent Was Treated With Ms Electrodes. The Process Performance Is Compared With Conventional Chemical Reduction Precipitation Of Cr(Vi) With Ferrous Sulfate As Reducing Agent And Calcium Oxide As Precipitating Agent.
