Electrocoagualtion treatment of effluents can be carried out with soluble electrodes in crossed direct and alternating inhomogeneous electric fields. To reduce power concumption and to conduct the process under stable conditions, the authors examined the scope for treating oil emulsions with unsymetrical current. A solution of NaCl was added to increase the electrical conductivity. To evaluate the effects of factors governing the process, the authors used a second-order experiment plan with a Box-Hunter method. The basic level, the variation intervals, and the boundaries of the region are given in a table. A comparison of the results on treating oil emulsions with direct current and asymetric current shows that a high degree of purifivation is obtained with lower power consumption.
