Abstract
Many studies indicate that flow-through reactors with three-dimensional ele ctrodes can he successfully used for metal removal from dilute streams, but they present high capital costs. So the simplest titanium and stainless st eel AISI 904L plate were chosen as cathode materials in tank reactors. A th ree cell plant was used for cathodic deposition of copper from an industria l effluent containing copper (II). The influence of the flow rate and the i nitial copper concentration on the removal efficiency and current yield was studied. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
