This study evaluates a hybrid electro-oxidation-adsorption process for chlorate removal in wastewater treatment. Using a specialized reactor, we investigated the influence of operational parameters including current density, reaction time, granular activated carbon (GAC) dosage, electrode spacing, and pH. Optimal removal efficiency of 82.40 % was achieved under the following conditions: 75 A/m² current density, 5 min reaction time, 20 g/L GAC dosage, 2 cm electrode spacing, and a pH of 2. This method outperforms traditional adsorption and electrochemical oxidation, offering a promising solution for reducing chlorate-related environmental impacts.
