Background: Lead ions form a dangerous pollutant to both human and aqua lives when discharged to the environment with wastewater due to the diseases and the damage of the live cells caused by these ions, so, it is very important to find an effective method for lead ions removel. Methodology: Lead ions were successfully recovered from simulated wastewater by a flowthrough batch recycle electrochemical reactor with stainless steel tubes bundle as a cathode operating under mass transfer control conditions in 0.5 M NaCl electrolyte solution. Effects of initial lead ions concentration, electrolyte flow rate, and PH were studied and the mass transfer coefficient was determined under these conditions. Performance of this reactor was analyzed by the construction of some figures of merit like fractional conversion, specific energy consumption, space-time yield, and space velocity. Results: Experimental results were correlated in the general form of a dimensionless mass transfer correlation as SH = 1.024Re0.00699Sc1/3.

This paper presents the results of a study on electrogeneration of aluminium, as a coagulant to remove silica in make-up water for cooling towers. Three electrochemical systems were tested, two with aluminium electrodes (one with polarity change and another without it), and a third one with aluminium anodes and cathodes of stainless steel. From the obtained results it was concluded that under the studied conditions, the most advantageous system to produce aluminium and remove silica is the one with both electrodes of aluminium working with direct current. Due to chemical production of aluminium at the cathode, the concentration of aluminium in the water at the outlet of the electrochemical reactor is much higher than the one calculated according to Faraday's law. Under the tested conditions it was possible to remove up to 66% of silica from water containing around 50 mg L−1.

Copper removal from a simulated wastewater was investigated by using rotating tubular packed bed of woven screens electrode as a cathode in a new design of electrochemical reactor. Effects of electrolysis operating parameters like current (0.5–2.5 A), rotation speed (150–750 rpm), and initial copper concentration (100–500ppm) were investigated. Optimization of process parameters was carried out by adopting response surface methodology (RSM) combined with Box–Behnken Design (BBD) where copper removal efficiency was selected as a response function. The results indicated that current has the main effect on the copper removal efficiency followed by rotation speed and concentration. The results of regression analysis revealed that the experimental data could be fitted to a second-order polynomial model with a value of determination coefficient (R2) equal to 0.9894 and Fisher test at value of 51.57 for. The optimum conditions of the process parameters based on RSM method were an initial copper concentration of 205 ppm, current of 2.5A, and rotation speed of 750 rpm utilizing cathode composed of screens with mesh no. 30 where a final copper concentration less than 2 ppm was obtained after 30 min.

Reactive Blue (RB 19), also known as Remazol brilliant blue, is a widely-used colorant in various textile applications. RB 19 is very resistant to chemical oxidation due to its aromatic anthraquinone structure highly stabilized by resonance. Its relatively low fixation efficiency (75-80%) attributed to the competition between the formation of the reactive form (vinyl sulfone) and the hydrolysis reaction, results in its prevalence in textile wastewater discharges. In this study, electro-Fenton (EF) process, a popular advanced oxidation process (AOP) was used to treat RB 19 dye-containing simulated wastewater. The electrochemical reactor (0.5 L) used in all experiments had parallel plate/mesh electrodes coated with metal oxides. Synthetic textile wastewater was prepared by dissolving RB 19 dye (300 ppm) in distilled water. The effects of pH, initial [Fe2+], initial [H2O2] and current on RB 19 decolorization efficiency were investigated. Removal of 100 percent RB 19 was achieved at pH 2, 0.71 mM initial [Fe2+], 5 mM initial [H2O2] and 1.86 A in 20 minutes. High decolorization efficiencies and absence of sludge during the treatment process render the electro-Fenton process a viable treatment option for dye wastewaters.
