  • Electrocoagulation using oscillating electrodes
    Patent number: 10710910
    Abstract: In alternative aspects, the invention provides electrocoagulation processes and apparatus in which the anode oscillates in the electrochemical cell. In some embodiments, this facilitates control of the mixing conditions at the electrode surface independently from the flow through the cell. A constant DC current may be applied in the electrocoagulation, so that as the anode moves closer to a cathode, the cell voltage will oscillate. This may for example be carried out to provide a comparable degree of electrocoagulation with a net reduction in the energy consumption compared to a non-oscillating cell.
    Type: Grant
