Removal of arsenic from wastewaters using electrocoagulation

The performance of electrocoagulation method with aluminium, iron and hybrid A1/Fe sacrificial anodes in the treatment of arsenite [As9III) and arsenate(As(V)] in pharmaceutical industrial effluents was investigated. Several working parameters, such as pH, current density, contact time and metal ion concentration were studied in attempt to achieve optimum removal efficiency.
