TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the process of electrochemical oxidation, which is proposed as an alternative for treating polluted waste water, and focus on reduction of the COD of the industrial waste water after secondary treatment.
Abstract: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in finding innovative solutions for the efficient removal of contaminants from water, soil and air. Electrochemical oxidation has gained increasing interest due to its outstanding technical characteristics for eliminating a wide variety of pollutants normally present in waste-waters such as refractory organic matter, nitrogen species and microorganisms. Effluents from landfill and a wide diversity of industrial effluents including the agro-industry, chemical, textile, tannery and food industry, have been effectively treated by this technology. Here we will deal with the process of electrochemical oxidation, which is proposed as an alternative for treating polluted waste water. We will be focusing on reduction of the COD of the industrial waste water after secondary treatment.

TL;DR: The use of sodium chloride instead of sodium sulfate enhanced both COD and color removal due to the formation of active chlorine species and the effect of temperature was relative low; the process was favourable at elevated temperatures while increasing COD loading resulted in a decrease of CODand color removal.
