Electrocoagulation is a process of applying electric current to treat and flocculate contaminants without adding coagulants. In this study, electrocoagulation of canteen wastewater was done using two different combinations of electrode materials. Aluminium and iron are taken as anode materials and stainless steel was taken as the cathode. A sample of 800 cubic centimeters is taken in the electrolytic cell and is made to run at different volts (10V, 20V, 30V). The combination effect of volt on the efficiency of the electrocoagulation process of the removal of PH, turbidity, TSS, DO and BOD was considered to evaluate the treatment efficiencies. From the study, the aluminum-steel combination was determined as the best electrode material for the treatment. The removal efficiency of turbidity, TSS, and BOD were 91.49%, 94.80%, and 90.23% respectively with Aluminium-steel combination. The electrocoagulation process can be recommended as an efficient wastewater technology.
