    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.

    Optimización de los Costos de Operación del Proceso de Electro-oxidación para una Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Mediante Análisis Estadístico de Superficie de Respuesta
    (Centro de Informacion Tecnologica, 2016-01-01) GilPavas, E.; Medina, J.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez, M.-A.; GilPavas, E.; Medina, J.; Dobrosz-Gómez, I.; Gómez, M.-A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Procesos; Procesos Ambientales (GIPAB)
    The statistical optimization of the implementation and operational costs of an electrochemical-oxidation process for treatment of wastewater containing dye Yellow 23 was done. The aim was to optimize the operational parameters for the current density, conductivity, and area of electrodes per unit of volume in order to minimize the net present value (NPV) of the operation while maintaining a defined quality for the treated wastewater. To achieve this, the response surface methodology coupled to the Box-Behnken statistical design was used. The optimal conditions found were: a relationship of treated wastewater volume per area of electrodes of 9.076 mL/cm2, conductivity 4000 µS/cm, and current density 20 mA/cm2. At optimal conditions, the NPV for a 10 year operation is 998636 USD, which corresponds to a cost of 0.68USD/m3 of treated water.
