Electrochemical treatment of wastewater: Selectivity of the heavy metals removal process

Furthermore, the affection of electrode arrangement is carefully studied and revealed its properties, providing a chance applying the method to actual industrial purpose. With a close, medium and far distance of the two electrodes we arrange, the result of removal heavy metal ions is differently achieved (97, 96.5 and 71%). Technical problems appear during the process seems to be minor and could be solved quickly by a simple solution which will be described in the later part. However, a single effective process to treat the wastewater we introduced here is just the beginning. A continuous system which can be operated for a longer time, more effective and creating a decent amount of energies would be welcome to investigate.
