“…To improve the adaptability and efficiency of this approach, efforts should be made in plant selection, numerous device combinations, and device structure modifications (Parde et al, 2021). Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), as one of the most promising biological therapies, have also emerged as a potential alternative for both removing COD and generating power (Chen et al, 2020;Kandasamy et al, 2020;Munoz-Cupa et al, 2021).…”

In this new era, we are facing a major problem regarding wastewater in the environment, which has an adverse effect on human life. Wastewater from tanning industries is one of the major contributors to the pollution in aquatic systems. Tannery industries have always contributed to the world's economy and trade despite facing criticism due to environmental pollution. Tanning effluent consists of organic, inorganic (chromium, nitrogenous compounds), and a large amount of solid content like TDS, TSS, TVS. To overcome these significant challenges, there have been few advancements related to tannery wastewater treatment. This article aims to provide a brief review on electrocaogulation based treatment technologies for eliminating the impurities from tannery wastewater. This review consists of the background with characteristics of tannery wastewater, the alternatives for treating the tannery effluent over the years along. A detailed description of the advanced technologies based on electrocoagulations is implemented to overcome the drawbacks of the existing methods.
