Electrochemical Degradation of Acid Yellow 23 by Anodic OxidationOptimization of Operating Parameters
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2016-11-01) GilPavas, Edison; Dobrosz-Gomez, Izabela; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Desarrollo y Diseño de Procesos
In this study, the electrochemical oxidation (EO) process was implemented and optimized to effectively decolorize and degrade wastewater containing Acid Yellow 23 (Y23). The experiments were carried out in a laboratory-scale batch cell reactor, with monopolar configuration of electrodes, made of graphite (anode) and titanium (cathode). The response surface methodology (RSM), coupled with Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD), was used to evaluate the single and interactive effects of different variables of the EO process on (1)degradation percentages of both chemical oxygen demand (%DCOD) and color (%DC) and (2)energy consumption (EC). Thus, the following experimental factors were considered: initial dye concentration (40-100mg/L), current density (10-20mA/cm2), and conductivity (1,000-4,000S/cm). Thus, the subsequent conditions were found to be optimal for decolorization and degradation of Y23: initial dye concentration = 100mg/L; current density = 20mA/cm2; and conductivity = 4,000S/cm. At these conditions, the EO process allowed to reach approximately 99% of color degradation and 76% of COD degradation. Because NaCl was used as an electrolyte, chorine formation was monitored, and its effect on %DC and %DCOD was also evaluated.
The electrochemical elimination of coliforms from water using BBD/Ti or graphite anodes: A comparative study
(International Water Association Publishing, 2018-04-01) Gil Pavas, E.; Arbelaez, Paula Eliana; Medina, J.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Desarrollo y Diseño de Procesos
The elimination of total and fecal coliforms, from raw surface water, was carried out by electrochemical oxidation using either boron doped diamond (BDD/Ti) or graphite (GP) anodes, in a chloride-free medium. The optimal values of the operation parameters, maximizing the coliform elimination percentage, were determined using statistical experimental design. The current density ( j: 2-20 mA/cm2), the conductivity (s: 500-900 µS/cm) and the anode materials (An) were considered as variables to perform the Box-Behnken experimental design together with the response surface methodology analysis for optimization. The statistical analysis indicated that, in the evaluated range, the disinfection efficiency increased with an increase in j and decreased with an increase in s. The following optimal conditions for the elimination of total and fecal coliforms were found: j: 10 mA/cm2, s: 500 µS/cm and BDD/Ti used as anode material. The BDD/Ti electrode let to achieve complete coliform elimination after ca. 20 min of reaction while the GP one needed ca. 27 min. In water treated with both BDD/Ti and GP anode, after 7 days, any coliforms growth was observed. As a result of the oxidation process, the total organic carbon and nitrite concentration decreased while nitrate concentration increased. © IWA Publishing 2018.
Optimization of sequential chemical coagulation - electro-oxidation process for the treatment of an industrial textile wastewater
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-04-01) GIL PAVAS EDISON; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Angel Gomez-Garcia, Miguel; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Desarrollo y Diseño de Procesos
In this study, the sequential Chemical Coagulation-Electro-Oxidation (CC-EO) process was proposed as an alternative for the treatment of an industrial textile wastewater. Complete characterization of the effluent was made in the terms of its organic load (Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5)), biodegradability (BOD5/COD ratio) and solids content (total solids and turbidity). For CC, the jar test was used to determine both the most favorable dosage of coagulant and pH of the process (i.e., 600 mg/L of Al2(SO4)3 at pH of 9.3). CC let to remove ca. 93% of turbidity, 53% of COD and 24% of TOC. It also increased BOD5/COD ratio of raw textile wastewater from 0.16 to 0.27. Next, CC effluent was treated by EO. Its performance was optimized using Box-Behnken experimental Design and Response Surface Methodology. The following EO optimal conditions were found: current density = 15 mA/cm2, conductivity = 4.7 mS/cm and pH = 5.6. At these conditions, the sequential CC-EO process removed 100% of color, 93.5% of COD, and 75% of TOC after 45 min of electrolysis with an estimated operating cost of 6.91 USD/m3. Moreover, the CC-EO process yield a highly oxidized (Average Oxidation State, AOS = 2.3) and biocompatible (BOD5/COD >0.4) effluent. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd
