K. Loomba et Gs. Pandey, DEPOSITION OF A FEW TOXIC METAL-IONS UNDER INDUCED EMF USING BLAST-FURNACE GRANULATED SLAG, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 2(2), 1995, pp. 104-106
Effect of the applied EMF on the rate of electrodeposition of selected
toxic metal ions [Pb(II), Hg(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)] in aqueous solut
ions in presence of blast furnace granulated slag of steel plant has b
een studied. An external EMF of 4 V is found to enhance the rate of el
ectrodeposition of Hg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II) and Ni(II) by 24, 32, 9 and
9.7%; respectively, whereas a decrease in the pH of the solution enhan
ces the removal of metal ions.
