Reactor Design for Electrochemical Water Treatment

  • Chapter
Book cover Process Technologies for Water Treatment

Part of the book series: Earlier Brown Boveri Symposia ((EBBS))

Abstract

Waste water containing toxic metal ions is produced in many industrial branches, such as electroplating, cellulose acetate production, photographic development, printed circuit and battery production. A classical process for purification of such metal containing waste water is neutralization combined with metal hydroxide precipitation. Stricter legal regulation of effluent pollution calls for new, reliable and cost-effective processes for the purification of waste water containing heavy metals. The maximum allowable metal concentrations of various metals in effluents and the minimum metal concentrations obtainable by hydroxide precipitation at pH 8 are listed in Table 1.
