Keywords:
Treatment, Electrocoagulation, Powder Coating Industry, Case study.Abstract
This paper is the extended study of previous paper “Powder coating industry: Wastewater Characteristics and its effect on environment”. This paper explains about the treatment of Powder Coating Industry waste water and the best possible treatment method and its parameters. Electrocoagulation method or technique is one of the promising techniques available for the treatment of this type of wastewater. The experiments were conducted with aluminium electrodes with various combinations of connections. Parameters such as pH, TDS, Colour, Turbidity, Phosphate and Chromate removal is showed using Aluminium electrode with the efficiency of 95.5% is found out. The electrical usage power required has also been calculated for the designed test treatment unit.
