2 Conventional Coagulation raw water coagulant (Al III or Fe III ) + ph adjustment treated water outlet sludge outlet sludge outlet Advantage: well known process Disadvantages: large footprint large amounts of liquid chemicals performance exhausted 2

3 Electrocoagulation Reactors Water for purification passed through electrochemical reactor Anode usually Fe or Al; cathode often steel Inter-electrode gap: < 5 mm Dissolution, hydrolysis and precipitation of metal ions from electrode Simultaneous evolution of H 2 gas Destabilisation of suspension coagulation Power Supply H 2 O Main advantage: No addition of chemicals Anode Me + H 2 + OH - Cathode 3

4 Performance and Challenges removal [%] But: Comparison Chemical dosing - Electrocoagulation at inlet ph 7.8 DOC chemical dosing colour (UV254) electrocoagulation Jiang, J.Q.; Graham, N. et al. (2002); Water Research, 36, High cell voltages, thus high specific energy consumption Electrode passivation slow reaction rates 4

11 Cell Voltage at Constant Current Density At Yorkshire Water s electrocoagulation pilot plant: Constant current density applied: ca. 67 A m -2 Rapid cell voltage increase due to passive layer growth / fouling cell voltage / V time / min 11

12 Characterisation of Electrodes Objective: Investigate factors controlling passivation behaviour Define means of diminishing passivation Procedure: Use of ca. 30 mm 2 plate electrodes with various degrees of surface roughness Measurement of electrode potential as function of time in response to applied current density 12

13 Effect of Surface Roughness electrode potential / V(SCE) time / s 1.4 Limit of potentiostat Rough Al electrode Smooth Al electrode Solution without Cl - Fresh surface electrode potential E / V(SCE) time / s 13

19 Model Prediction of ph Profile Anode Potential V(SCE) Resultant current density ca. 6.8 A m -2 Al Anode Cathode (inert) fluid flow inter-electrode gap 19

20 Effect of ph Profile on Dissolution Low local ph at Al anode dissolves oxide layer Electode Potential (SHE) / V H + H 2 Al 3+ Al(OH)3 (am) Al 2 O 3 (c) ph at anode Al ph Al(OH) 4 - O 2 H 2 O 20

21 Conclusions Dissolution of Al anode enabled by low local ph due to Al 3+ hydrolysis generating H + and precipitating Al(OH) 3 This leads to local dissolution and thinning of passive layer spontaneous depassivation Rough and freshly prepared surfaces more likely to exhibit spontaneous depassivation Corrosion promoters, e.g. Cl -, enhance depassivation 21
