A theoretical model has been developed to predict bed thickness and hydrodynamic behavior of conducting particles in an expanded bed used for heavy metal removal. The objective of this study was to construct a two-dimensional model to represent particle behavior in an expanded bed electrode while critically examining the effect of particle size on metal recovery. The methodology involved developing model equations for electrode thickness and bed porosity, which were then compared with experimental data reported in the literature. Results indicated that the model simulations aligned well with existing empirical data, thereby validating the predictions of electrode thickness and hydrodynamic behavior under various conditions. This study highlights the importance of electrochemical techniques as potential alternatives to conventional methods for heavy metal removal from industrial effluents, addressing both environmental and health concerns associated with heavy metal contamination.
