Electrocoagulation for suspended solid removal in domestic wastewater treatment

The treatment of wastewater has become an absolute necessity. Innovative, cheap and effective methods of purifying and cleaning wastewater before discharging into any other water systems are needed. A wide range of wastewater treatment techniques are known which include biological processes and phys...
