Electrolítico

Electrolítico is a term used to describe a type of cell or electrolytic tank designed to remove heavy metals and other impurities from industrial wastewater. These cells use an ion exchange process to capture charged species such as metals and ions from the wastewater, allowing the remaining water to be safely discharged into the environment.

The electrolítico process relies on the application of an electric current to facilitate the migration of ions through a membrane or other semi-permeable interface. In this process, contaminants in the wastewater are converted into a solid form that can be easily removed from the treated water. The electrolítico cells are typically used in conjunction with other treatment technologies, such as precipitation or filtration, to achieve a complete removal of impurities from the wastewater.

Electrolítico cells have gained significant attention in recent years due to their ability to remove a wide range of pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and other dissolved compounds. They are particularly useful in industries such as metals processing, chemicals production, and mining, where wastewater often contains high levels of pollutants. The electrolítico process has been shown to be effective in reducing the levels of pollutants in wastewater by up to 99%, making it a valuable technology in the field of environmental remediation.

Despite its effectiveness, the electrolítico process requires careful operation and maintenance to ensure optimal results. This includes monitoring of the cell's performance, as well as regular cleaning and replacement of the cell's membranes. When properly operated, electrolítico cells can provide a reliable and efficient means of treating industrial wastewater and helping to protect the environment.
