Galvanic water treatment

Galvanic water treatment refers to the process of removing impurities and ions from water through electrochemical reactions. This process is similar to electroplating of metals, but in this case it is applied to water treatment instead of metal surfaces.

The main goal of galvanic water treatment is to improve its quality by removing unwanted substances such as heavy metals, organic pollutants and other impurities. The process works as follows:

Electrolytic compartment: Water is placed in a container with two compartments separated by a permeable membrane. One compartment contains the anode and the other the cathode.

Electrochemical Reactions: When an electric current is applied, electrochemical reactions occur at the anode and cathode. This leads to the formation of metal ions, which are then trapped or deposited on the cathode.

Removal of impurities: During electrochemical reactions, impurities and pollutants introduced into the water begin to react with the ions formed. These impurities can be deposited on the cathode or can be oxidized to safer substances.

Galvanic water treatment can be an effective way to improve water quality and remove unwanted impurities. This process can be used in a variety of areas, including drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, surface water treatment and industrial processes.

However, it is important to remember that galvanic water treatment is a complex process that requires the correct setting of parameters such as electric current, type of water and type of impurities. Professional water treatment professionals are able to properly design and implement galvanic water treatment methods to achieve desired results.
