the fitness to the data was
very satisfactory (R2 > 0.92) and increasing the applied current density
significantly enhanced TOC removal rates. This interpretation is
consistent with the results given in the related literature [9,10,16].
In addition, a linear increase has also been obtained for the pseudofirst-
order TOC rate constants versus the applied current densities =−0.0004×Jc, R2 = 0.98) which may facilitate decision making
for the operation of the EC process
