Abstract The removal of sulphate ions constitutes one of the main challenges in mining, metallurgical and other industries. This work evaluated sulphate removal from aqueous solutions by an electrocoagulation (EC)/raw straw activated carbon (RSAC) adsorption coupled process. The process parameters affecting sulphate removal efficiency were investigated: current density (0–100 mA/cm2), RSAC dosage (0–0.8 g/L), initial pH (4–9) and reaction time (0–40 min). A central composite design coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) was used to construct a mathematic model of EC/RSAC process that considers three key variables, namely current density, RSAC dosage and reaction time. Under optimum conditions (current density of 75 mA/cm2, dosage of 0.46 g/L and reaction time of 19.2 min), the removal efficiency of sulphate reached 95.2%. The RSM predictive value was 94.08% with a small deviation (1.12%). Thus, the fundamental data and results can provide some useful information for further studies and applications of the EC/RSAC coupled system in sulphate-containing wastewater treatment.
