| Abstract | ||
| This research carried out experimental runs to present a solution for treatment of groundwater by using electrocoagulation (E.C) technique to remove different elements such as heavy metals (iron, manganese), Turbidity, Total Alkalinity, Conductivity, pH, TDS, Fluorides, Magnesium, Sulfate )SO4(, Magnesium carbonate (MgCo3). The influence of various operating parameters of Electrocoagulation technique, such as retention time, current intensity, and distance between electrodes were explored for effective treatment of ground water, where Aluminum sheet was used as the electrode material, distance between electrodes was varied from 0.5 cm to 2 cm and the current intensity was varied from 1.5 to 4.5 ampere with retention time from 20 to 60 min. The experimental results found that the best removal efficiencies for iron, manganese, turbidity, total alkalinity, conductivity, TDS, fluorides, magnesium, sulfate, and MgCo3 were 89.9%, 75.42%, 92.06 %, 49.85 %, 23.09 %, 23.09 %, 90 %, 43.39 %, 26.6 %, and 43.71 % respectively | ||
