Electro-oxidation of fish meal industry wastewater in a stirred batch reactor using a Ti/RuO2 anode

Fish meal is used as feed for fish, dogs and cats, and in the pharmaceutical industry. Direct electro-oxidation has been used to treat fish meal industry effluent and organic pollutant removal, and was studied in this project. The anode used was titanium coated with ruthenium oxide and the cathode w...
