The application of electrochemical processes in oily wastewater treatment: a review
Oily wastewater is becoming a concern worldwide due to its quantities and the presence of contaminants and its sustainable treatment should be cost-effective and meet all requirements so the contaminants are not transferred to the environment. The paper reviews the state-of-the-art in the oily wastewater treatment by electrochemical processes such as electrochemical advanced oxidation processes and electrocoagulation. Efficiency of oily wastewater treatment has been thoroughly investigated with its expression as a function of the main technological (process) parameters. Fe and Al electrodes, as well as their combination have proven to be very effective in oily wastewater treatment with slightly better performance of Al electrodes. Higher current densities and longer reaction times result with higher COD, TOC, turbidity, phenol and oil and grease removal efficiencies, but with resulting increase in wastewater temperature and energy consumption, so there is a strong need for the process optimization. There is a need for further research on the treatment efficiencies of different contaminants (heavy metals, total hydrocarbons, organic halogens, cyanides, etc.). A lack of research is presented on the treatment efficiency with electrodes of different materials as well as the analyses of the sludge production and its further treatment and use or disposal.
