Abstract

Environmental problems at the present time are among the most important challenges facing humans, countries, and regions because of their multiple harms to our planet and everything in it. Among the environmental problems discharging of wastewater in oil, refineries are the largest problem because it contains many harmful pollutants, especially organic pollutants. The case study was to a reduction of the organic pollutants from the wastewater associated with the Qayyarah refinery in Iraq. Samples of the organic pollutants were represented by chemical oxygen demand ( COD ). The technique of merging the electrocoagulation process with Photo-Fenton was applied using a titanium electrode (cathode) and a stainless steel electrode (anode). By applying Takeuchi's method through the Mini Tap program and using statistical methods, we got the results and the final values: The highest COD removal efficiency was 95.238. STANDARD deviation 2.651, (Shapiro-Wilk Statistics efficiency = 0.977, p-Value = 0.813. The optimal conditions for this experiment were as follows: current density= 400 mA cm-2, Sodium sulfate concentration = 3 gm L-1, pH= 6, hydrogen peroxide concentration =400 mg L-1, ferrous sulfate =50 mg L-1, time =40 minute
