Description

Water pollution is one of the largest threats facing
the global population. Water is a finite resource.
Once polluted, it cannot be set aside in the hopes
that the environment will ‘make’ new, clean water.
One procedure often employed to treat wastewater
is coagulation/flocculation. While the coagulation /
flocculation procedure in wastewater treatment
is effective, it involves the addition of chemical
components to the water being treated. Recently, a
great deal of attention has been given to less traditional
alternatives to the typical process of coagulation/
flocculation. One such approach receiving a good deal
of attention is a process called electrocoagulation.
Electrocoagulation is a coagulation process carried out
by an electrical charge. There are enough materials for

are included.
