Abstract

In this work, perforated zinc is proposed as a new anode for lead removal by hybrid solar electrocoagulation. The characteristics of the sludge were investigated to understand the behaviour of lead removal during electrocoagulation. Sludge products formed were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). In addition, the pH variation during electrocoagulation and effects on the sludge products were examined. At optimum conditions showed that the perforated zinc electrode produced better performance with high removal efficiency, low sludge volume index and less energy consumption.
