Wastewater is obtained of different process at the mechanical and steel industry<br />

that lead requirement for development methods in waste management and<br />

recycling. In this study, a process for obtaining nanostructures by<br />

electrocoagulation has been developed in the laboratory and analysis of micro<br />

and nanostructure of tin, zinc, and nickel aggregates are made by field emission<br />

scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy-dispersive of X-ray<br />

spectroscopy (EDS). The electrocoagulation process is made with aluminum and<br />

copper electrodes in a simple electrochemical cell in the laboratory after 1 h. In<br />

this work the sludge of electrocoagulation methodology is studied by field<br />

emission electron microscopy. Nanorods and nanoparticles are generated by<br />

electrochemical method in the sludge wastes after the treatment. Different<br />

types of structures are found in the sludge at different elements like spherical<br />

nickel particles, zinc nanorods, copper pyramidal forms, and tin nanoparticles<br />

with different size. Finally, the synthesis of nanostructured materials in<br />

wastewater sludge implies a cost-effective impact and green approach for water<br />

treatment and waste management.<br />
