In this research, electrocoagulation intensified peroxidation (ECP) using Aluminium electrode was studied as a post-treatment method for poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) with 4 operational variables (pH, current density, contact time and H2O2 dosage). Optimization was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The experimental data were analyzed via analysis of variance and a second order model was developed to test the effects of process parameters on the treatment performance. The optimum conditions were chosen as; pH 5.83, 0.18 g/L H2O2 dosage, 58.60 min. contact time and current density 4.21 mA/cm2. The compatibility of the predicted optimum conditions has been verified by experimental data. As a result of the experiments performed under optimum conditions, COD, TSS and color removals were found to be 97.89%, 99.31% and 98.56%, respectively. The difference between experimental and predicted values was found to be less than 0.86%. The final treated effluent met the discharge standards determined by the World Bank, EU, US and Malaysian Department of Environment for SWWs. Under optimum conditions to treat 1 cubic meter of SWW was calculated as 2.52 MYR ($ 0.58).
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.
