Removal of inorganic pollutants using electrocoagulation technology: A review of emerging applications and mechanisms.

Electrocoagulation (ECoag) technique has shown considerable potential as an effective method in separating different types of pollutants (including inorganic pollutants) from various sources of water at a lower cost, and that is environmentally friendly. The EC method's performance depends on several significant parameters, including current density, reactor geometry, pH, operation time, the gap between electrodes, and agitation speed. There are some challenges related to the ECoag technique, for example, energy consumption, and electrode passivation as well as its implementation at a larger scale.

Optimized parameters of the electrocoagulation process using a novel reactor with rotating anode for saline water treatment.

In this study, a novel rotating anode-based reactor (RAR) was designed to investigate its effectiveness in removing dissolved salts (i.e., Br, Cl, TDS, and SO) from saline water samples.
