Investigation of oil content removal performance in real oily wastewater treatment by electrocoagulation technology: RSM design approach

Utilization of Response Surface Methodology in Electrocoagulation for Process Optimization and Parametric Analysis

“…In addition to energy consumption for economic consideration, the operating cost is another major output that was considered which includes the cost of chemical usage and equipment involved in the EC process [42,43]. In a recent research study conducted by Jasim and Aljaberi [44] on the removal of oil contents from oily wastewater through finned cathodes and tubular anodes, the authors investigated the cost of electrical energy and consumption of electrodes as outputs of RSM optimization. They deduced that aluminum-based electrodes consumed in a very low quantity and energy consumption was also on lower level.…”
