Theoretical Foundations of Chemical Engineering Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Various aspects of electroflotation technology for wastewater treatment and extraction of organic and inorganic compounds from process solutions were reviewed. The achievements in the extraction of organic pollutants from sewage (oil products, dyes, surfactants, biological components) and ligands were described in detail. The results of studies on the effect of various surfactants on the electroflotation process were presented.
