Article Synopsis
- - The research investigates a combined electrodialysis and electrocoagulation method to simultaneously recover copper and remove arsenic from acidic wastewater generated during copper smelting.
- - Using synthetic wastewater, the study found that electrodialysis achieved 100% removal of copper and 67% removal of arsenic, while electrocoagulation effectively precipitated 82% of the remaining arsenic.
- - The optimal current for this combined process was determined to be 1.36 A, allowing for efficient treatment times and effective separation of contaminants, highlighting the method's potential for sustainable metal recovery and wastewater treatment.
