Arsenic removal from tap water by electrocoagulation: investigation of process parameters, kinetic analysis, and operating cost

Presence of arsenic ion [As(V)] in ground water at different locations of India is a big health concern in present days. In this work, effort was made to remove As(V) ions from tap water by electrocoagulation (EC) using iron (Fe) electrodes having an effective surface area of 38.67 m2/m3. Investigation was focused on studying the effects of various process parameters of EC like solution pH, current density (CD), inter-electrode distance (IED)...
