Dangers of the use of electrolysis in the cleaning the waste-water

Dangers of the use of electrolysis in the cleaning the waste-water

Sometimes has claimed, that electrolysis would help to clean polluted water. The thing, why some people believe in this solution is that the electrolysis would deliver free oxygen in the water, and oxygen kills anaerobic bacteria. But if we would make that process without necessary sharpness and using the perfect, suitable tools for the preprocessing of the water, we could cause a very bad ecological catastrophe.

In this case, the electrolysis could easily use for creating oxygen, which kills anaerobic bacteria. But it should happen in a separated chamber, where is conducted the clean or salted water. That eliminates the expensive cleaning process of the wastewater, where every drop of oil and other polymers must be removed before electricity is conducted to that water. If there is oil or some other carbon polymers, that thing causes forming dangerous chemicals, which are called polychlorinated hydrocarbons, which are the deadliest chemicals on Earth. 

The problem with the use of electrolysis in the water cleaning process is quite dangerous because this process could form a chemical combination, which is known as dioxin, which is part of the so-called DLC ( dioxin-like compounds) highly toxic environmental POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants) what type of chemical combinations are extremely poisonous. The dioxin is forming, when oil is getting in the electrolytic process, and this thing is causing that this super-strong poison is forming in electric components like transformers, which contains oil. The dioxin is cell poison, which is causing death in a very low dose. 


Many people misconnect DLCs with the PCB, which is another group of poisons. But actually, PCB is the acronym for polychlorinated biphenyl, which is a little bit different than DLC. 


So in that process, all oils and other liquid polymers must be removed from the water. After that, the polluted water could send to the electrolysis, if we want to use that thing. Electrolysis is, of course, an effective way to produce the oxygen, and it can use effectively in a separated tank, where the electrolysis would create oxygen, and if the water is salted it can also create chlorine, what will clean the polluted water as it does in the normal swimming pool. 

This is one version of chemical cleaning, where the polluted water, what comes from the sewer system would clean from the bad-smelling and harmful bacteria. The thing is that processing wastewater is one of the most important things in environmental protection. The thing is that driving oxygen in the wastewater would make life on anaerobic bacteria impossible, but if we would use some method, we must make sure, that there would not be becoming bigger problems.
