Optimization of tapioca wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation has been conducted. Taguchi design experiment was used to calculate the optimum condition. Electrode distance, an electrical resistance of the wastewater and time of operation were used as the parameters. The results show that the electrocoagulation using bipolar stainless steel electrode was able to treat the cassava starch wastewater. The maximum pollutant removal percentage was achieved by the electrical resistance of 60 ohms at 1.5 cm electrode distance for 30 minutes.

Electrocoagulation (EC) process uses direct electric current source between metal electrode submerged in the effluent that results in electrode dissolution, with a suitable pH, metal ion can form a wide range of metal hydroxide and coagulated species that destabilized and dissolved contaminants absorbed. Electrocoagulation (EC) has been working for the percentage removal of BOD (Biochemical oxygen demand)/ chemical oxygen demand (COD) ratio, Color and COD on leachate in a batch Electrocoagulation reactor using stainless steel (SS) electrode. EC technology depends on so many factors such as electrode material, initial pH, applied voltage, inter-electrode distance, and electrolysis time. From the experimental work, results reveal that the maximum percentage of removal achieved were COD and Color 73.5% and 65.0% respectively and increasing BOD/COD ratio 0.11 to 0.62. The optimum inter-electrode distance 1cm with electrode surface area 35 cm2 and optimum electrolysis time of 120 min at optimum applied voltage 12V, stirring speed 250 rpm and pH 9.8. These results proved that the EC process is an appropriate and proficient approach for treating the landfill leachate.

Abstract: The effect of electromagnetic treatment on corrosion behavior of carbon steel and stainless steel in simulated cooling water was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization techniques and water analysis. It was found that the charge transfer resistance decreased and the corrosion current density increased after electromagnetic treatment for carbon steel electrode, which shows that such treatment promotes corrosion of carbon steel in simulated cooling water. In contrast, the pitting potential of 316L stainless steel electrode rose which revealed that electromagnetic treatment of the experimental water exhibited corrosion inhibition to 316L stainless steel. Reasons for different corrosion behavior of the two metals were discussed.

ABSTRACTCVD polycrystalline diamond surfaces were etched using reactive ion etching system with either a conventional stainless steel electrode or MgO sintered ceramic containing electrode. The micro-needle array of high aspect on diamond substrate surfaces obtained with MgO electrode was fabricated by using back-sputtering from MgO electrode. The RMS roughness of diamond substrate surfaces obtained with MgO electrode is higher than those obtained with stainless steel electrode.
