Because of its different concentrations, sewage can cause serious water pollution problems for aquatic organisms. Dicofol is a pesticide derived from organic chlorine that effectively targets ticks, though it is a subject of controversy because of its negative effects on the environment. In this study, an aluminium electrode was employed for the elimination of dicofol from a water-based solution through the process of electrocoagulation. Aluminium electrodes are characterized by SEM and FTIR techniques. The optimization process for several parameters such as the maximum removal percentage of Dicofol by APE was determined under the optimized conditions: electrolysis time, NaCl concentration, voltage, pH, initial Dicofol concentration. The pseudo-first-order rate constant of the aluminium plate electrodes was determined according to the results of the kinetic study. The electrical energy used to remove dicofol in the electrocoagulation process was determined on aluminium plate electrodes.
