Abstract Using cell with a vertical tubular serpentina, the rate of methomyl pesticide removal from synthetic agricultural run-off water by electrocoagulation was investigated. Placed between 2 vertical screen plate cathodes, in addition to having a high area per unit volume, has the potential to function as a built- in cooler to remove extra heat that could negatively influence the rate of electrocoagulation, particularly in industrial-scale cells with high currents that treat low conductivity waste Solution Initial pollutant concentration, current density, pH, sodium chloride concentration, temperature, and rotating speed intensity were the variables examined. In forty minutes, 100% of the methomyl was eliminated under ideal circumstances. It was discovered that when current density, pH, temperature, NaCl concentration, and initial methomyl concentration increased, so did the percentage of COD elimination. Up to a certain point, stirring was found to boost the percentage of chemical oxygen demand removal; after that point, stirring to a higher degree was found to have no effect on the percentage of chemical oxygen demand removal; removal. Depending on the working conditions, electrical energy usage ranged from 0.11 to 0.65 K.W.h/Kg. The importance of the present results is removing insecticides from wastewater discharged by insecticides plants and agricultural run-off water. |
