In this paper, a poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (PSW) was treated in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color reduction using electro-Fenton (EF) technique under response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of five significant independent variables such as reaction time, pH, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, current density, volume ratio of H2O2/PSW (ml/l) were investigated on the COD and color removal. Experimental data were optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD) and RSM. The optimum conditions were experimentally found at pH of 4.38, reaction time of 55.60 min, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio of 3.73, current density of 74.07 mA/cm2, volume ratio of H2O2/PSW of 1.63 ml/l for 92.37%COD removal and at pH of 3.39, reaction time of 49.22 min, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio of 3.62, current density of 67.90 mA/cm2, volume ratio of H2O2/PSW of 1.44 ml/l for 88.06% color removal.
