Abstract

In this study, electrochemical treatment of alcohol distillery wastewater using iron electrode with and without the presence of H2O2 was investigated. The effects of sodium sulfate concentration as supporting electrolyte, current density, pH and H2O2 concentration on the removal efficiency were investigated.
