Abstract
Abstract. One of the parts from electrochemical advanced process is electrocoagulation which have been widely used to treat various type of wastewater and water. Chemical Coagulation and Electrocoagulation had the same process but difference mechanism. The way of aluminum or iron delivered is the difference for the mechanism. This article focuses on the effects of various operating parameters and recent developments in the electrocoagulation for drinking water treatment process and their optimum ranges for maximum pollutant removal and various pollutants removed by this process is observed.
