@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009761, title = {Pollutants Removal from Synthetic Wastewater by the Combined Electrochemical Sequencing Batch Reactor}, author = {Amin Mojiri and Akiyoshi Ohashi and Tomonori Kindaichi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Synthetic domestic wastewater was treated via combining treatment methods, including electrochemical oxidation, adsorption, and sequencing batch reactor (SBR). In the upper part of the reactor, an anode and a cathode (Ti/RuO2-IrO2) were organized in parallel for the electrochemical oxidation procedure. Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) with a concentration of 2.5 g/L was applied as the electrolyte. The voltage and current were fixed on 7.50 V and 0.40 A, respectively. Then, 15% working value of the reactor was filled by activated sludge, and 85% working value of the reactor was added with synthetic wastewater. Powdered cockleshell, 1.5 g/L, was added in the reactor to do ion-exchange. Response surface methodology was employed for statistical analysis. Reaction time (h) and pH were considered as independent factors. A total of 97.0% biochemical oxygen demand, 99.9% phosphorous and 88.6% cadmium were eliminated at the optimum reaction time (80.0 min) and pH (6.4).}, journal = {International Journal of Environmental and Ecological Engineering}, volume = {12}, number = {11}, year = {2018}, pages = {665 - 668}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10009761}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/143}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 143, 2018}, }
