Electrocoagulation-flotation (ECF) is one of the newest treatment methods, which has been used successfully to remove different kinds of pollutants (Behbahani et al. 2013). ECF is a process which consists of three main parts: (1) Creating metallic hydroxide flocs within the solution by electro-dissolution of soluble anodes, (2) Formation of coagulants in aqueous phase, and (3) Adsorption of pollutants on coagulants and then removal by sedimentation/flotation (Arroyo et al. 2009; Zaroual et al. 2009).
