“…Therefore, the EC method is classified as a green technology for water and wastewater treatment (Neoh et al, 2016). It has been well documented that EC technology is able to remove as much as 95-99% of various pollutants within a relatively short treatment time (Gao et al, 2010;Ricordel et al, 2014;Hashim et al, 2017b;Nariyan et al, 2018).
