Experimental study on micro-electrolysis technology for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to study the role of micro-electrolysis in removing chromaticity and COD and improving the biodegradability of pharmaceutical wastewater. The results showed that the use of micro-electrolysis technology could remove more than 90% of chromaticity and more than 50% of COD and greatly improved the biodegradability of pharmaceutical wastewater. Lower initial pH could be advantageous to the removal of chromaticity. A retention time of 30 minutes was recommended for the process design of micro-electrolysis.

Key words: Micro-electrolysis, Pharmaceutical wastewater, Chromaticity, Biodegradability, Enviromental engineering
