Nowadays, one of the major problems facing industrialized nations is the contamination of the environment by hazardous chemicals. Among the industries involved are petroleum refining, organic chemicals, synthetic industries, milling, coal conversion, pulp and paper manufacturing, and textile processing industries. A large number of publications reporting its effects and damages to human health, animals and the environment. There is still a need for advanced techniques to remove these pollutants. The Electrocoagulation process has proved to be rather effective in the degradation and mineralization of single organic toxicants and the mixtures of various organic wastes. Wastewater treated by EC gives palatable, clear, colorless and odorless water. It can able to remove metal ions and/or hydroxides from synthetic solutions, groundwater or industrial wastewaters. Typically, high or complete removal could be obtained when treatment parameters (voltage, electrolysis duration, pH, inter electrode distance, stirring speed) are optimized. Aluminum, iron and combination electrodes can be used in the EC system. It can also able to remove organic material from industrial wastewaters or synthetic solutions. In general, iron electrodes give higher organic matter removal, whereas higher color removal is obtained with aluminum electrodes. Purification of surface waters from natural organic matter, inorganic pollutants or microbes can be achieved. Aluminum electrodes are more commonly used than iron electrodes in these applications.
