A new design of the electrocoagulation apparatus for removal of micromycetes from water

A new design of the electrocoagulation apparatus consisting of an inert anode and cathode made of stainless steel was developed. The formation of a coagulant takes place due to the corrosion of ferrous plates located in the anode plane. The following optimum parameters for the operation of the apparatus were defined: current density??21 mA/cm², current strength??60 mA, area of ferrous plates??3 cm². The application of this apparatus makes possible to convert efficiently Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ allowing the user to reduce the consumption of coagulant and remove to the maximum extent contaminants including micromycetes from water.
