METHOD AND APPARATUS OF REMOVING PHOSPHORUS FROM SEWAGE WASTEWATER BY ELECTROCOAGULATION USING ELECTRODES HAVING POROUS MEMBRANE THEREBETWEEN

摘要

Disclosed is a method of removing phosphorus from sewage wastewater by electrocoagulation, comprising: providing an electrode assembly comprising an anode and a cathode with a porous membrane interposed therebetween; placing the electrode assembly in an electrocoagulation tank; passing sewage wastewater through the electrocoagulation tank to treat the sewage wastewater by electrocoagulation; and introducing the treated water into a mixing tank to further treat the water. Also disclosed is an apparatus of removing phosphorus from sewage wastewater by electrocoagulation, comprising: an electrode assembly comprising an anode and a cathode with a porous membrane interposed therebetween; at least one electrocoagulation tank in which the electrode assembly is placed and sewage wastewater is treated by electrocoagulation; and a mixing tank, which receives the treated water and in which treated water passed through the anode and treated water passed through the anode are mixed and further treated to remove untreated phosphorus.
