Abstract:Aiming at the unclear problem of electrocoagulation removal of non-point source pollution in orchard planting, taking the conventional non-point source pollutants in orchard planting as the research object, the key designs of electrocoagulation were investigated, the effects of pH and conductivity were analyzed, and the strengthening conditions of polyacrylamide (PAM) were discussed. The results showed that electrocoagulation treatment achieved the best removal effect when the voltage was 10 V(2.5 mA/cm2) and the electrode spacing was 1 cm. The removal rates of total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate (NO3ˉ-N), ammonia (NH3-N), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) reached 70.6%, 30.4%, 78.4%, 23.7% and 92.1% respectively. Acidic (pH=5) and alkaline (pH=9) conditions were not conducive to the removal of these pollutants. The increase of conductivity improved the removal of ammonia, but weakened the removal effect of other pollutants. When the dosage of PAM was 0.5 mg/L and the precipitation time was 5 min, PAM enhanced the removal of TSS, NH3-N and TP to the best extent, increasing by 39.1%, 10.3% and 7.5% respectively, but it inhibited the removal of NO3ˉ-N and TN to a certain extent. The results provided theoretical and data reference for electrocoagulation treatment of orchard planting non-point source pollution.
