主　　题：Electrocoagulation Nickel wastewater Iron configurations Alternating current Polynuclear iron-hydroxyl complex 

摘      要：Electrocoagulation(EC)has been widely used to treat the heavymetal wastewater in industry.A novel process of sinusoidal alternating current electrocoagulation(SACC)is adopted to remove Ni2+in wastewater in this *** morphology of precipitates and the distribution of the main functional iron configurations were *** timed complex spectroscopy can identify the monomeric iron configurations[Fe(a)],oligomeric iron configurations[Fe(b)]and polymeric iron configurations[Fe(c)].The optimal operating conditions of SACC process were determined through single-factor *** maximum Ni2+removal efficiency[Re(Ni^(2+))]was achieved under the conditions of pH0=7,current density(j)=7 A/m^(2),electrolysis time(t)=25 min,c0(Ni^(2+))=100 mg/*** pH=7,the proportion of Fe(b)and Fe(c)in the system was 50.4 at.% and 23.1 at.%,*** the SACC process,Fe(b)and Fe(c)are themain iron configurations in solution,while Fe(c)are the vastmajority of the iron configurations in the direct current electrocoagulation(DCC)***(Ni2+)is 99.56% for SACC and 98.75% for DCC under the same optimum conditions,*** precipitates produced by SACC have a high proportion of Fe(b)configurations with sphericalα-FeOOH andγ-FeOOH structures which contain abundant hydroxyl ***,it is demonstrated that Fe(b)has better adsorption capacity than Fe(c)through adsorption experiments of methyl orange(MO)***(a)configurations in the homogeneous solution had no effect on the removal of nickel.
