Abstract
The removal of arsenic from groundwater by continuous electrocoagulation (EC) using combined Fe-Al electrodes at its natural temperature (16.1±0.2 °C) was comprehensively evaluated. The results obtained indicated that all studied Fe-Al electrode combinations were able to reduce As concentration below 10 μg/dm3. Nevertheless, the Fe-Fe-Al-Fe electrode combination was the most suitable due to its highest arsenic removal capacity (0.354 μg As/C) for the lowest charge loading 68.4 C/dm3. The specific consumption of Fe was 0.0339 kg Fe/m3 and of Al electrodes 0.0145 kg Al/m3. The operating cost was estimated at 0.182 €/m3. The increase of the groundwater temperature by 8 °C from its natural temperature influenced increase of the Fe and Al electrodes dissolution rate by 30% and 17%, respectively and that of As removal efficiency by 16%. The residual Fe and Al concentrations in 500 dm3 of treated groundwater were below WHO guideline values for drinking water. Long-term field operation of the pilot-scale continuous EC reactor is required to validate effectiveness, reliability and robustness of the EC technique for arsenic removal from groundwater confirmed in laboratory conditions.
综合评价了Fe-Al复合电极在自然温度(16.1±0.2℃)下连续电絮凝(EC)对地下水中砷的去除效果。结果表明，所研究的Fe-Al电极组合均能将砷浓度降低到10 μg/dm3以下。而Fe-Fe-Al-Fe电极组合在最低电荷负荷为68.4 C/dm3的情况下，具有最高的除砷能力(0.354 μg As/C)，是最合适的电极组合。铁的比耗为0.0339 kg Fe/m3，铝电极的比耗为0.0145 kg Al/m3。运营成本估计为0.182欧元/立方米。当地下水温度比自然温度升高8℃时，Fe和Al电极的溶解速率分别提高30%和17%，As的去除效率提高16%。500 dm3处理过的地下水中残余铁和铝浓度低于世卫组织饮用水指导值。需要中试规模连续EC反应器的长期现场运行，以验证EC技术在实验室条件下确认的地下水砷去除的有效性、可靠性和稳健性。
