The present study explored the feasibility of using graphite electrodes for the electrochemical oxidation of cyanide, thiocyanate, phenol and aniline with hydrogen peroxide. The dosing effects of hydrogen peroxide and current density were examined in the pre-treated coke oven wastewater. It was found that 0.025 M hydrogen peroxide and 13.63 mA/cm 2 of current density were more favorable for the removal of 100%, 90%, 71% and 40% cyanide, thiocyanate, phenol and aniline respectively. The increased removal of phenol in the coke oven wastewater was attributed to the pre-treatment of wastewater. Initially, 28% phenol was converted to phenolate ion by air stripping process, which increased the removal rate of phenol by the electro-oxidation process as the removal of phenolate is quite easy compared to phenol. The advanced oxidation process degrades the more toxic cyanide into less toxic intermediate cyanate ions (CNO ─ ), which further cut down into nontoxic end products such as N 2 , HCO 3 and CO 2 . The experimental results show that the primary mechanisms in the oxidation of cyanide and phenol are mediated electro-oxidation by hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorite ions. The operating cost under the optimized conditions for the removal of 100% cyanide and 71% phenol was estimated to be 616.95 INR/m 3 .
