Recovery of Mineral Oil from Waste Emulsion using Electrocoagulation Method

This paper presents a research to recover mineral oil from industrial waste emulsion. This research also evaluates the standard of water produced after the oil recovery. The ecosystem could be polluted if this waste is not treated prior to discharge. The equipment needed for this experiment is powe...
