Abstract
The effects of pH and the current densities on electroflotation columns have not been investigated yet. In this study, we proposed to adopt the effects of pH (4–12) and current density (60–300 A/m2) on the specific interfacial area (a), on volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) and in Liquid-side oxygen transfer coefficient (KL) during the wastewater treatment by the electroflotation process. The measurements aimed to find the best experimental conditions to treat such effluents. Water at different pH concentrations was used as model solutions of some effluents. A rectangular electroflotation column was used.
