In this study, it is aimed to treat the wastewater from drilling operations during the creation of a natural gas storage area by electrocoagulation (EC) method. Boron and sulfate parameters in the wastewater were tried to be eliminated with the help of aluminum electrodes. During the removal of boron and sulfate pollutants, optimization studies were carried out on process time, pH, and current criteria. Boron (B) and sulfate (SO4) concentrations of wastewater generated during drilling were measured as 1.18 mg/L and 3348 mg/L, respectively. The samples taken after the purification work were placed in the measuring tapes and kept on hold for 24 hours. After the settling time, samples taken from the upper part were analyzed. During boron and sulfate removal, 16 mA/cm2 current, 30 min contact time, approximately 61% and 36% efficiency were obtained at 7 pH values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
