Soluble cutting fluids (SCFs) have been used in metal machining processes to improve the quality of metal processing equipment and products in modern society. Because the characteristics among metal machining processes differ, various types of cutting fluids are manufactured to enhance the cutting efficiency of different metals. Although SCFs are useful and essential materials, particular treatment is required attributable to the high concentration of nitrogen materials and chemical oxygen demand (COD). In this study, the removal efficiency of total nitrogen (T-N) contained in SCFs was analyzed using electrochemical treatment. The electrode was made of 316 stainless steel, which had been perforated to prevent an imbalanced sample concentration in the reactor. Cathodic and anodic electrodes were alternately inserted into an acrylic reactor. The removal efficiency of T-N in SCFs using 40 A/m2, 60 A/m2, and 80 A/m2 current density, was 48.2%, 61.5% and 69.3%, respectively. The removal efficiency of T-N in SCFs with the addition of 0, 5 mM, and 10 mM NaCl was 69.3%, 74.6%, 77.6%, respectively.
