In this research, successive electro-oxidation (EO) process was utilized to eliminate some of the primary organic contaminants in effluent wastewater, specifically phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The performance of the electro-oxidation (EO) process was studied by using two graphite electrodes as anodes and three stainless steel electrodes as cathodes, which is a new strategy in this field. Taguchi method has been used to design experiments to approach the best experimental conditions for phenol and COD removal as significant responses. The best operating conditions that resulted in the maximum reduction of phenol and COD were current density (CD = 25 mA/cm2), pH = 4, support electrolyte (NaCl=2g/l), the distance between electrodes (Dist.=5mm), and time of 60 minutes. At these operating conditions, phenol and COD removal were 99.27% and 99.96%, respectively. This work provides important insights into a novel water and wastewater treatment method with a detailed analysis of the results.
