Electro coagulation is a process that involves dissolution of a metal a node with simultaneous formation of hydroxyl ion sand hydrogen gas at the cathode. This study investigated the influence of operating parameters (current density, detention time, pH, electrolyte concentration, electrodetype, electrode distance) on COD removal using electro coagulation process (EC) with aluminum and iron electrodes in continuous flow model. Till today researchers are mainly focused on use of electro coagulation systemin batch processes. Looking to a large quantity of waste water, continuous flow regime may offer better solution. The operational parameters including current density, detention time and pH will be optimized for study and it is expected for the improved efficiency of COD and turbidity removal.
