An emerging method of treating water and wastewater is the electro-Fenton process. Electro-Fenton is particularly helpful in treating stubborn compounds that are difficult for traditional water and wastewater treatment plants to break down. It works by using hydroxyl radicals to oxidize hazardous contaminants. This study examines the principles and most recent advancements in the electro-Fenton process, wastewater treatment through the application of EFP, and the benefits of EFP for wastewater remediation from different pollutants. It also focuses on the effects of different operating parameters and the most recent advancements in the electro-Fenton process, observing their optimal ranges for maximum pollutant removal through this process. The obtained results indicated that the authenticated response to the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was 89.82%, at optimum values of pH, FeSO4.7H2O dose, H2O2 dose, reaction time and current density of 3, 1 g/L, 8.38 g/L, 50 min, and 4.23 mA/cm2, respectively.
