ELECTROFLOTATION, ELECTROCOAGULATION, AND ELECTROFLOCCULATION
Electroflotation involves the electrolytic production of gases (e.g., O a, H2)
that can be used to attach pollutants (e.g., fats and oils) to the gas bubbles and
carry them up to the top of the solution where they can be more easily collected
and removed. Electrocoagulation refers here to the electrochemical production
of destabilization agents that bring about charge neutralization for pollutant
removal. Electroflocculation is the electrochemical production of agents that
promote particle bridging or coalescence.
