Revolutionary Electrocoagulation Process Removes 80% of Distillery Wastewater Pollutants
The researchers used a process called continuous electrocoagulation with iron electrodes to clean up distillery wastewater. They tested different flow rates and residence times to see how well it worked. They found that at certain flow rates, they could remove a lot of the waste and color from the water. After 3 hours, the slurry had a lot less solid waste in it. By changing the residence time, they were able to use less energy to clean up the water. They also looked at how the electrodes dissolved and were used up at different flow rates.
