Removal mercury from wastewater by electrocoagulation using iron plate as electrode

Electrocoagulation is the removal process that based on electricity which used electrolysis concept. This process can remove contaminant like mercury which cannot be removed through filtration. This technique is economic and environmental friendly for wastewater treatment. Research studied was perfo...
