The growing concern for environmental protection and increasing demand for green approaches to address environmental problems have prompted researchers to explore a sustainable and reliable method for treating dyeing wastewater. One of the sustainable and reliable methods is the electrocoagulation process. In this study, a batch electrocoagulation reactor was designed to evaluate the efficiency of this process in treating dyeing wastewater. The effects of two parameters, electrode distance and retention time, on pollutant removal efficiency were investigated. Electrode distances of 2, 5, and 7 cm were tested, and retention times of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes were examined. Results indicated that the optimal electrode distance was 5 cm and the optimal retention time was 20 minutes. Under these conditions, the removal efficiency of BOD, COD, TSS, color, and turbidity reached 83%, 85%, 98%, 98%, and 93%, respectively. The results of this research demonstrate the significant potential of the electrocoagulation system for treating dyeing wastewater.
