In the present investigation, treatment of textile effluent using an electrochemical technique was designed and analyzed using the Box‐Behnken method. The influence of individual parameters on electro‐oxidation of textile effluent has been critically examined using the response surface method (RSM), and a quadratic model for chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction has been developed. It has been observed from the present analysis that the predicted values are in good agreement with experimental data with a correlation coefficient of 0.945.
