Abstract

The study was carried out on Dye Intermediate wastewater treated by EC (Electrocoagulation) for the removal of residual NH3-N and COD on a laboratory scale. This study compares
the treatment efficiency of NH3-N removal by Electrocoagulation Method using different electrodes is
performed at the same time interval. Raw wastewater showed NH3-N around 1100-1200 mg/l. About
92.72% reduction in NH3-N is observed by using Copper Electrodes as Cathode and Anode. Hence, it
is suggested that Electrocoagulation process using copper electrodes proves to be more efficient
treatment for NH3-N and COD reduction and thereby improving biodegradability of the wastewater
