  The performance of an innovative cell design in removing particulate solids from synthetic turbid water by electrocoagulation has been investigated. The cell consists of two concentric vertical cylindrical Al-electrodes; the outer electrode is a cylindrical solid Al- cathode, whereas the inner electrode is an expanded cylindrical Al-anode. The distance between the two electrodes is 1 cm apart. The performance of the present cell has been measured in terms of % removal of particulate solids and power consumption. The effect of key parameters such as electrolysis time, current density, pH, initial particulate solid concentration, NaCl concentration and solution velocity on the % removal of particulate solids has been investigated. The results revealed that as current density increases the % removal increases. Whereas as NaCl concentration and solution velocity increase, the % removal de.. View More»
