Wastewater Treatment in Milk Dairy Industry using Electrocoagulation Technique

Abstract

Main objectives of the present paper to evaluate the removal of COD, TSS, TDS and oil and grease from the dairy industry wastewater by Electrocoagulation using iron as Monopolar configuration at different voltages and electrolysis time. To study the effect of inter electrode spacing and effect of different initial pH for the removal of COD, TSS, TDS, oil and grease at constant voltage for the iron electrode, it involves the generation of coagulants in situ by dissolving the ions from the electrode by Electro coagulation (EC) is one of the commonly used processes for the treatment of wastewater.
