Carlos Banchón
Abstract:This study investigates the application of electrocoagulation for enhancing the biodegradability of organic matter in automobile service station wastewater, notorious for its contamination with polyaromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and surfactants. Optimization of key variables such as electrode material, current density, and electrical consumption is conducted, with correlation analysis assessing their impact on water quality. Experimental setups utilize a vertical configuration comprising eight monopolar … Show more
