| 摘要 |
A method, for removing contaminants from wastewater includes electrolytic treatment of wastewater with the use of an anode containing materials which withstand electrolysis as well as so-called sacrificial materials which are dissolved during electrolysis, both of which are simultaneously exposed to the wastewater. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes a dimensionally stable anode cage made from platinum, titanium, niobium, palladium, ruthenium, Iridium oxide, tantalum oxide or platinized titanium, as the part of the anode that withstands electrolysis, which anode cage is provided with aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium or mixtures of these metals as sacrificial material. |

1. A method for treating wastewater to remove heavy metals, organic pollutants, pharmaceutical product and other contaminants from wastewater, comprising electrolytically treating the wastewater with the use of an anode comprising a material which withstands electrolysis as well as a sacrificial material which is dissolved during electrolysis, wherein both the material which withstands electrolysis and the sacrificial material are simultaneously exposed to the wastewater and wherein the electrolytic treatment is carried out with the wastewater in a pH value range of 5 to 9, at a voltage less than 12 V. |
