Treatment by Electrocoagulation of Congo red from Aqueous Solution Using Cantor Alloy

Abstract

Electrocoagulation (EC) is one of the most effective techniques in removing color and organic pollutants from wastewater. This study aims to use a new alloy system, so-called High Entropy Alloys (HEAs), which contains at least five principal elements with 5-35 at. %, as an electrode in the EC process. The well-studied equiatomic CrMnFeCoNi HEA (Cantor alloy) was used as an anode in the treatment of the synthetically prepared wastewater (congo red solution) with EC. In the EC study, COD and color removal were evaluated at different current densities (5-100 mA/cm2) for 15 min electrolysis period. The results showed that removal efficiency of above 80 % was obtained for both parameters of COD and color at the lowest current density of 5 mA/cm2. The optimum current density was determined to be 10 mA/cm2, and the COD and color removal efficiencies were found to be 84 and 99.4 %, respectively. It was shown that the Cantor alloy possesses an effective removal in the EC process.
