Optimization of electrochemical process for anthracene removal from aqueous medium by Taguchi (original) (raw)

The poly aromatic hydrocarbones (PAHs) in drinking wáter measured in the most levels are fluoranthene (FA), phenanthrene (Phe), pyrene (PY), and anthracene (Ant). The increase in Ant levels in environmental media such as water is mainly attributed to anthropogenic sources (including tar, paint production such as alizarin rde, wood preservative, insecticides, covering materials, and pharmaciticul products). The aim of the current study is to investigate electrochemical removal of Ant from urban drinking water using a batch reactor. Ant removal efficiency is examined under different operating conditions including current density (1–8 mA/cm), electrode composition materials such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), steel (AS), or zinc (Zn), pH (4–10), and duration (20–60 min). Ant concentration is determined utilizing standard techniques. Steel–Steel (AS–AS) as anode–cathode electrodes in the least Ant removal (not detected), while Zn–Cu anode–cathode electrodes produces the highe...
