Electrocoagulation Based Treatment of Water and Wastewater: Overview and Applications is a concise presentation of different real-life applications on the electrocoagulation treatment process involved in the removal of harmful contaminants from both drinking and industrial wastewater. Chapters focus on the global scenario of water purification, its types, and characteristics, along with different water treatment processes, including the electrocoagulation technique. The book explains both the foundational information and state-of-the-art topics involved in the treatment of water and wastewater using electrocoagulation and its hybrid techniques in an easy-to-understand manner. The experimental studies conducted across the globe, along with their associated challenges and the possible solutions are explored, starting from the basics and gradually progressing towards the advanced level of the subject. In an organized manner, the book addresses both the standalone and hybrid electrocoagulation-based techniques established for water and wastewater treatment in real life applications. Readers will acquire in-depth knowledge on the field of drinking and industrial wastewater treatment from its basics to the current research accomplishments.
