摘要
Ultrasound may have inherent shortcomings that preclude its ability to coagulate grease from wastewater, yet these may be overcome by the simultaneous application of electrolysis. We Studied the role of pH, conductivity, temperature, ultrasound intensity and duration, and electrolysis voltage, current, and duration, in the study treatment. Conductivity was found to be the most significant factor, however interactions among the eight study variables are likely more important than individual factors. The proposed process was capable of removing up to 100% of grease from the studied wastewater. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
