Sažetak
A pilot plant study of the treatment of electroplating wastewaters using elctroreduction with iron electrode plates, electrocoagulation/ozonation using aluminium electrode set followed by ozonation was presented. The initial effluent was highly enriched in heavy metals and elevated levels of organic contaminants. The concentrations of Cr6+, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, TOC, and COD exceeded the upper permissible limits of 63, 220.2, 1.1, 7, 131.3, 1.7, 12.3 and 11.4 times, respectively. The heavy metal removal was forced either by the coagulation/flocculation using Fe2+, Fe3+, and Al3+ ions released into the treated solution by electrochemical corrosion of the sacrificial iron and aluminium electrodes, precipitation of the metal hydroxides as well as co-precipitation with iron and aluminium hydroxides. The principle mechanisms of the organic matter destruction were oxidation by ozone and the indirect oxidation with chlorine/hypochlorite formed by the anodic oxidation of chloride already present in the wastewater. Following the combined treatment, the removal efficiencies of the parameters Cr6+, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, TOC, and COD were 99.94%, 100.00%, 95.86%, 98.66%, 99.97%, 96.81%, 93.24%, 93.43%, and 77.78%, respectively. All the parameters in the final effluent were in agreement with regulated values.
