Electrocoagulation in Water Treatment
Although electrocoagulation (EC) is an evolving technology that has for the past 100 years been effectively applied in waste water treatment, the paucity of scientific understanding of the complex chemical and physical processes involved as well as the limitations (in terms of size and cost) of the needed power supplies in the past, have curbed large scale applications and hindered progress. In addition, the powerful manufacturers of chemicals have been able to restrict the market penetration of this effective, environmentally friendly non-chemical procedure[citation needed].
With the latest technologies, reduction of electricity requirements, and miniaturization of the needed power supplies, EC systems have now become within reach[vague] of water treatment plants and industrial processes worldwide.
