Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater by Electrocoagulation Using Iron Electrode

In this work electrocoagulation for phosphorus removal from wastewater using iron electrodes as cathode and anode was investigated. In this study several parameters were considered namely: distance between electrodes, ammonia and COD with the addition NaCl equal 0.5 g. It was found short gap was better for phosphorus removal and effect of ammonia and COD enhance performance of phosphorus from 89.2 to 90.1 and 91 respectively for a current the 0.8 A at 55 min.
