A review of electrochemical methods for treatment of wastewater

Electrochemical processes have a number of advantages over other approaches for treating wastewater. These technologies are robust, simple to apply and adaptable to changing effluent streams. In addition, a wide range of contaminants can be eliminated. This paper presents an overview of electrochemical processes for wastewater treatment that are currently in use or are under investigation. The fundamentals of several electrochemical processes for wastewater treatment are described, along with applications.
