\nAbstract:
\nTo treat produced water (PW), this work uses the mechanical design of the Digital
\nBaffle Electro Photo Catalytic Batch Reactor (DBEPCB) method as a viable
\nsupernumerary. Box Behnken Design (BBD) of Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
\nin Digital Baffle Oxidation Reactor studied the electro reactor design consisting of
\nanode and cathode electrodes made of aluminum and iron correspondingly, with a
\nmechanical mixer for mixing the PW with TiO2 concentration to maximize presentation
\nwith optimization design methods. A second-order obvious relation between the metal
\nremoval and important factors were shown by the high coefficient value (R2 = 0.967).
\nThe validity and dependability of the proposed technique were evaluated through
\nadditional statistical analysis. Founded on unresolved values, a predicted regression
\nmodel was created, and it showed excellent agreement with experimental values. Based
\non important parameters, this model produced the best equation for the experiential
\nmodel to prediction copper removal (CR). Rendering to the BBD, at pH 9, 300 rpm, 50
\nmin of electrolysis, and 100 ppm of TiO2 concentration, the ratio of CR augmented to
\n98.4%. According to the study’s assumptions, the electro-catalytic technology that has
\nbeen enhanced may be a dependable way to alleviate the<\/p>\n
