Treatment of Corrugated Cardboard Box Manufacturing Plant Wastewater by Using Electrocoagulation Method

Abstract

In this study, treatment of a corrugated cardboard box manufacturing plant wastewater with electrocoagulation method was investigated. Also, the effects of anode type, applied voltage, treatment time and support electrolyte (NaCl) on energy consumption and COD removal rate was studied. As a result; the treatment of corrugated box production wastewater with electrocoagulation method can be made with up to 90%, and especially in terms of energy consumption the use of stainless steel electrodes is more available.

Oluklu Mukavva Kutu Üretimi Atıksuyunun Elektrokoagülasyon Yöntemi ile Arıtımı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, oluklu mukavva kutu üretim tesisi atık suyunun elektrokoagülasyon yöntemi ile arıtılabilirliği incelenmiştir. Ayrıca elektrot türü, uygulanan gerilim, işlem zamanı ve destek elektrolit(NaCl) ilavesinin KOİ giderim yüzdesi ve enerji tüketimine olan etkileri araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; oluklu mukavva kutu üretimi atıksularının elektrokoagülasyon yöntemi ile yaklaşık %90’a kadar arıtımının yapılabileceği ve özellikle enerji tüketimi bakımından paslanmaz çelik elektrotların kullanımının daha uygun olduğu görülmüştür.
