The aim was to optimize the operational parameters for the current density, conductivity, and area of electrodes per unit of volume in order to minimize the net present value (NPV) of the operation while maintaining a defined quality for the treated wastewater. To achieve this, the response surface methodology coupled to the Box-Behnken statistical design was used. The optimal conditions found were: a relationship of treated wastewater volume per area of electrodes of 9.076 mL/cm2, conductivity 4000 µS/cm, and current density 20 mA/cm2. At optimal conditions, the NPV for a 10 year operation is 998636 USD, which corresponds to a cost of 0.68USD/m3 of treated water.spahttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/0716-8756CostsElectrochemical oxidationElectrodesOptimizationOxidation resistanceSurface propertiesWastewaterWastewater treatmentWater treatmentElectrochemicalOperational parametersOptimal conditionsResponse surface methodologyStatistical designStatistical optimizationThe net present value (NPV)Treated wastewaterCost benefit analysisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2021-04-16GilPavas, E.Medina, J.Dobrosz-Gómez, I.Gómez, M.-A.10.4067/S0718-07642016000400008
