Wastewater treatment by electrochemical oxidation

Advancements in Electrochemical Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Due to its remarkable technological advantages for eliminating a broad variety of contaminantsfound in many kinds of wastewaters, such as refractory organic matter, bacteria, and others, theelectrochemical oxidation method has attracted growing attention in recent years. The fundamentalmechanisms of the electrochemical oxidation process are the topic of this review research, which may beused as a clean, versatile, and strong instrument for eliminating contaminants. The understanding of themechanics of electrochemical treating wastewater has progressed throughout time. The explanation ofintermediate products created during the oxidation process and degradation pathways requires a thoroughknowledge of the many kinds of wastewater treatment technologies and processes.
