The pretreatment of rubber additives processing wastewater was performed by Al/AC micro-electrolysis (ME). The single-factor experiments for the removal of COD and chroma were investigated. The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was also applied to optimize the experimental conditions, and the fitted response surface model supplied highly significant quadratic models for the process. The COD removal efficiency reached 51.6% at an initial pH of 9.8, Al scrap dosage of 98.6 g L⁻¹, Al/AC mass ratio of 0.26, and reaction time of 176 min, which was reasonably consistent with the predicated value of 51.9%. Moreover, we proposed a reaction mechanism of the process for the degradation of organic contaminants, and found that the removal of COD and chroma were mainly ascribed to the combination of active hydrogen [H] with strong chemical reactivity and flocculation of aluminum hydroxide. All these results showed that Al/AC ME is a promising pretreatment technique for this wastewater.
