Abstract
A method for removing silica from an aqueous solution is provided. The method includes steps of flowing the aqueous solution into an electro-Fenton reactor, wherein the reactor comprises one or more electrodes in a bipolar arrangement positioned between a monopolar iron anode and a monopolar cathode; applying an electric current to the aqueous solution such that silica aggregates form on ferric hydroxide; and removing the silica aggregates from the aqueous solution.
