Electrocoagulation (EC) applications, performance results, drawbacks, and limitations for As removal are the focus of this review. Topics covered include mechanisms and theoretical aspects; effects of operational parameters on the efficiency of the process, including current density, charge loading, and initial pH; reactor configurations and operating cost of the process; the EC sludge production, including characterization and disposal methods ; and the simultaneous As removal with other contaminants from water. The publication concludes with examples of pilot and full-scale applications of EC for As removal and the outlook of this field of study with respect to new areas of research.
