Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to propose an efficient and low cost defluorid ation process based on electrocoagulation with aluminium bipolar electrodes . The performance of a pilot scale electrochemical reactor equipped with al uminium, bipolar electrodes with an anode active area surface of about 1.6 m(2) was studied. The pilot study yielded promising results, suggesting tha t further in-depth development studies are justified. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci ence B.V. All rights reserved.
