In this study, a batch-scale electrocoagulation (EC) reactor with fixed aluminium electrodes was examined, for the removal of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from synthetic wastewater. The effects of operating parameters namely current density, initial Cr(VI) concentration and initial pH on the perform...
