Electrocoagulation with ozone and photo is a hybrid electrochemical and AOP techniques used to treat wastewater and industrial effluent. In the present study, the effects of combining O3, UV, and EC processes on color removal as well as the related COD removal and EEC from the treatment of DIW were assessed. The results showed that, compared to other hybrid processes like O3/EC, UV/EC, UV/O3, and single processes of EC, O3, and UV, the combined process of O3/UV/EC is significantly more effective for treating DIW in terms of COD removal (98.99%) and complete color removal with a required EEC of 9.7 kWhr m-3. Number of process variables, including reaction time (1 to 5 hr), O3 (0.8 to 4 g L-1), UV (8 to 32 W), current density (0.08 to 0.23 A dm-2), pH (1 to 11), COD (1000 to 6000 mg L-1), inter-electrode distance (0.75 to 3.75 cm), and combination of electrodes were studied to analyze how they affected. The optimum operating circumstances underwent testing and shown outstanding effectiveness in eliminating the COD and determination of EEC from DIW. Overall, it was clear from the results that combined treatment approaches could be more effective in removing the pollutant successfully from DIW. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
