Abstract

In this paper, thermal conductivity of carbon resin electrodes developed for electrochemical treatment of water and wastewater was investigated. Carbon resin electrodes were developed from used dry cells and resin using non-heat treatment processes. Thermal conductivity of the electrodes was measured and effects of particle size, compacting pressure, carbonisation temperature and percentage of the resin used on thermal conductivity of the electrodes were monitored using standard method through RE 890G and ALDA AVD 890G thermocouples at two different points (5cm apart). Effective thermal conductivity of the electrodes was modelled using Okazaki et al model.

The study revealed that thermal conductivity of carbon resin electrodes ranged from 1.39 W/K. cm to 2.24 W/K. cm. Thermal conductivity of the material increased with decreased particle size (1.48 to 2.24 W/K. cm with 245 to 45mm) and decreased percentage resin (1.49 to 2.20 W/K. cm with 12 % to 1%), decreased with decreased compacting pressure (2.12 to 1.44 W/K. cm with 110 MN/ m2 to 60 MN/ m2) and carbonization temperature (2.12 to 1.39 W/K. cm with 260 oC to 30o C). Okazaki et al model agreed reasonably with the experimental data with correlation coefficient of 0.3206 and coefficient of determination 0.9917. It was concluded that particle size, compacting pressure, carbonization temperature and percentage resin play important role in thermal conductivity of carbon resin electrodes.
