Nowdays the constant growth of the population increases the demand for water which also makes the problem of pollution even bigger. We must know that the water sources on Earth are limited and that the environment can only handle limited extent of self-purification. Because of that, the scientist have developed several methods to remove the harmfull substances such as heavy metals, micropolutants, suspended particles, nutrients from wastewater. One of the methods is named electroctrocoagulation. It is known to be one of the recent methods on the market, and because of that it is oveshadowed by other already licensed methods. The main purpose of my diploma thesis is to find out the cumulative treatment effect of the process and find out the optimal conditions for best results. The research will focus on literature review to compare: functionality of the method, main parts of the system, the negative and positive aspects of the process and how it compares to others, the problem of pollution in wastewater. I am going to focus on the electrocoagulation of micropollutants as well as some other pollutants.
