Electrocoagulation (EC) - science and applications

Although electrocoagulation is an evolving technology that is being effecti vely applied today for wastewater treatment, the paucity of scientific unde rstanding of the complex chemical and physical processes involved is limiti ng future design and hindering progress. The objective of this review throu gh a survey of the Literature is to bring the chemistry and physical proces ses involved into perspective and to focus attention on those areas critica lly needing research.
