2-4 Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid is most publicly applied from chlorinated phenoxy acids herbicides. In this research, central composite design for optimization of photo-Elecro/persulfate/nZVI process to degradation and mineralization of this herbicide in aqueous solution to environment protection was applied. The initial pH (2-4), persulfate anion concentration (0.25-0.5 mg/L), direct electrical (0.5-1 A), herbicide concentration (50-100 mg/l), nZVI dose (0.05-1 mg/L), and reaction time (50-100 mg/l) are independent variables optimized. Also, the synergist effect, COD and TOC removal, the effect of radical scavengers, and by-products were investigated. The fitting of the model, suggested a quadratic model (R 2  = 0.9926). F-value and P value of ANOVA were 719.81 and 0.0001 respectivelty. After optimizing the PEP/nZVI process, the proposed optimal conditions was pH = 3.4, persulfate concentration equal to 0.49 mg/l, in 1 A direct current, nZVI dose equal to 0.1 mg/l, in 50.05 mg/l herbicide concentration as an initial concentration, in 80 min reaction time. The theoretical and actual removal was evaluated 91.99% and 92%, respectively. In the optimum condition, 45.4% synergist effect indicated. 78.3% and 66.5% of initial COD and TOC were decreased. 39.02% of Cl ion was released form 2,4-D structure. The presence of radical scavengers have an adverse impact on the performance of process. The highest amount of radical scavenging was in methanol, tert-butyl alcohol and bicarbonate ions at concentrations at 50 mM/l. The kinetic data was fitted via pseudo-first-order reaction (R 2  = 0.99).The direct and indirect oxidation process lead to formation of several organic by-products which were confirmed by GC-MS analysis.
