Popis: In this study, electrolysis using graphite electrodes was applied to treat wastewater generated from a COD analysis procedure (referred to as COD wastewater). COD wastewater containing high concentrations of H2SO4, Hg2+, and Cr2O72- salts were collected and then treated by electrolysis with graphite electrodes in a labscale experiment. The results showed that the electrolysis process was not affected by the electrode’s distance or area. The most efficient treatment for all three metals was achieved at a current value of 31.58 mA, which corresponds to a current density of 1.974 mA/cm2 under a voltage of 3 V, 8-h electrolysis time, wastewater pH
