The ozone-assisted electrocoagulation (EC) is a promising approach to enhance the removal efficiency of Chemical Oxygen Demand, color and recalcitrant organic pollutants in wastewater treatment. Over the past two decades, the number of research published on ozone-assisted EC process has increased significantly. The main objective of this review article is to provide the quick reference for researchers using ozone-assisted EC technology to solve wastewater problems. This article reviews the synergy mechanism by discussing the floc structure and identifying the reactive species during ozone-assisted EC process. The main parameters are also considered to investigate their effect on the removal efficiency such as electrode material, combination mode, solution pH, current density and ozone dosage. Moreover, this article focused on the removal effect of wastewaters and the economic analysis of ozone-assisted EC process. In conclusion, this review article combs the development history, and summarizes the research progress, and offers an outlook for the perspective of ozone-assisted EC process.
