Abstract

This short communication concerns the author’s proper brief story about performing research on electrocoagulation (EC) process. The main personal works performed on EC process are shortly introduced. For more than twenty years, working on EC technique still attract my interests due to the several advantages well-known of this electrochemical manner in treating water/wastewater in terms of killing microorganisms and organic matter removal. In spite of the great progress achieved in EC process application, more research remains required to reach a high level of industrial satisfaction. Humankind future quality is highly dependent on preserving nature from more polluting disasters and treating wastewater for drinking water direct use objectives.
