Abstract
This work is an attempt to remove Cr(VI) from simulated wastewater using electrocoagulation (EC) process where stainless steel (SS) is used as a sacrificial electrode. The central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) is used to optimize different operating parameters including initial pH (pHi: 1.5–9.5), current density (j: 20.75–104.15 A/m2), electrode gap (g: 1.5–2.5 cm), and treatment time (t: 0–30 min), with respect to the removal of Cr(VI) from simulated water. The high coefficient of determination for Cr(VI) (R2 = 0.9922) was found by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) between the experimental data and the predicted data using a second-order regression model. The maximum Cr(VI) removal of 88.9% was achieved at optimum conditions (pH 3.5, j = 83.3 A/m2, g = 1.75 cm, and t = 24 min) as reflected by ANOVA analysis. A foam and residues analysis has also been incorporated.
