Аннотация

The efficiency of using stainless steel soluble electrodes for the in-situe formation of ferric chloride and ferric sulfates coagulants has been investigated. The current input was found to be inversely proportional to the residual turbidity in the test water. At a contact time of 10 minutes, the highest turbidity removal efficiency (95 %) was achieved at a current of 1 A. When the current was reduced to 0.5 A and the contact time was increased to 10 minutes, the residual turbidity was reduced from 4.0 to 1.6 NTU.
