Performance Evaluation of Electro-Fenton Process (EFP) in Removal of Hexavalent Chromium in the Presence of Cyanide, as an Interfering Agent, from Synthetic Wastewaters
Background: Chromium (VI) is a hazardous pollutant that enters into the environment through different industrial wastewater. Therefore, Choice a suitable method for removal of the pollutant before discharging into the environment is necessary. The aim of this work was performance evaluation of Elect...

In optimum condition, pH=3 and voltage=20 V, initial concentration=100 mg/L, concentration of hydrogen peroxide=50 mL/L the maximum efficiency was reached up to 97%.

Conclusion: Results indicate the proper efficiency of chromium (VI) by EFP process; however presence of other pollutants such as cyanide can cause efficiency decrease which must be considered in the process application.http://jehe.abzums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-20&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Electro Fenton Chromium Cyanide Interfering agent Wastewater. |
