Table 2. Effect of frequency in the percentage of removal of N-NH4+ and P-PO43−, Mg2+ concentration, and solid recovered in a solution 0.005 mol L−1 NaNH4HPO4 at 53 mA and 5 cm of distancea.
| Frequency, Hz | Removal, % | Mg2+, mg L−1 CaCO3 | Solid formed, g | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P-PO43− | N-NH4+ | |||
| 0.1 | 16.67 | 5.78 | ND | 0.11 |
| 0.01 | 64.75 | 58.41 | 14.00 | 0.29 |
| 0.001 | 86.89 | 83.02 | 28.00 | 0.51 |
| 0 | 98.14 | 98.33 | 106.31 | 0.68 |
ND, not detectable; 0 Hz is the treatment presented in the latter section, without polarization.
