Electrocoagulation typically replaces chemical coagulation as a wastewater treatment method. The effect of direct current passing through the wastewater is complex, and includes slow dissolving of the electrodes as well as a range of other chemical and physical reactions and processes.
The electrodes are made of mild steel and aluminium. Life of the electrodes depends on the level of pollution in the water
Electrocoagulation provides a cost effective solution to difficult wastewater treatment problems, often an answer where the conventional methods fail.
