I'm using Carbon electrode for both anode and cathode to treat stabilize landfill leachate for removal of COD. If i want to calculate operation cost do i need to measure weight of electrodes before and after EC treatment, because only electrical energy and electrode consumption will be accounted. electricity will account kwh/kg COD removed and electrode consumption in kg. anyone can provide details regarding this issue. thanks in advance!
Operation costs of EC process using sacrificing electrodes (such as carbon) is calculated according to consumption (weight of electrode before and after) electrodes and energy costs (electricity). It should be remembered that AC/DC adapters having a degree of efficiency.
Dear Borislav Malinovic
Dear Md. Nuralam Hossain
the sacrificial elelctrode in EC process should be selected of iron or aluminum but not graphite which releases cations to be reacted with hydroxide ions produced at the cathode. note that the cathode may be graphite or st. st. the result is the formation of fog material that has the ability for adsorption pollutants.
pls see the attached file
thank you so much for your positive and valuable information. i think it will help me.
Thanks!
I agree with Malinovic answer
