Simultaneous Removal of Cyanide and Heavy Metals Using Photoelectrocoagulation
One of the new methods used to remove the contaminants from effluent is the electrocoagulation method, which is sometimes combined with other methods to increase the removal efficiency of contaminants. To simultaneously remove nickel, cyanide, zinc, and copper, the combined method of photo-electrocoagulation was used along with an oxidizing agent, namely hydrogen peroxide (Hp). In addition, the effects of factors affecting the removal efficiency were studied, including pH, electrode arrangement, and current intensity. An electric current of 300 mA at a pH of 10 for 60 min, Fe-SS electrodes with a distance between them of 5 cm, and hydrogen peroxide at a rate of 4 mg/L were the ideal conditions needed to accomplish the photo-electrocoagulation-oxidation process. According to these study findings, when the combined method of photocatalyst-electrocoagulation-oxidation (Hp) was used, the highest removal efficiencies of nickel, cyanide, zinc, and copper were 85, 96, 94, and 98%, respectively. The results showed that using the combined photo-electrocoagulation-oxidation method increased the efficiency of simultaneous removal of pollutants by 10% compared to conventional electrocoagulation method. The reason for the increase in removal efficiency is the production of hydroxyl radicals simultaneously with the formation of coagulants produced by electrocoagulation process.
